Part B: Mines (still) on the Mind
For a couple of years now, I've been trying to focus on documenting abandoned mines in Northern Ontario. Compared to about 10 years ago, it's become harder and harder to find these places - a lot of mines have been reactivated, and many of the old headframes have fallen over or been demolished. Even once the mine itself has been capped and shut down, the tailings often remain, leaving behind land that is too toxic for anything to grow in, and contaminating the ground water and local lakes/rivers.

I'm also surprised that house survived last winter...I guess we will see if it's still standing in the spring!

Lovely. B2&3 are my faves.

These are all amazing shots!

Also did anyone else think that the open door in the darkness (I think that is what it is) in photo number 7 of the first section look like a head, or is that just me?

I love these, awesome set of photos!
