David: Wow! You took us to that mine when we visited, and I remember how
immense it was. And those trucks! The only way to appreciate their size was
when a man climbed up the ladder (several stories high?) to the cab, and one
had some perspective of the scale. When we were there, the air was full of
smoke from half the forests in the province burning. You had the benefit of
clear air and some beautiful light. The pano really does do it justice. Good
shootin'!
Best to you and Rose from Katya and me!
