Pascoe's Shaft

This tranquil scene must at one time have been bustling with activity. The conditions can't have been easy for the miners, and the contribution of their labour must never be forgotten.

Excellent image Vince, I think the fence/gate in the foreground help make this picture. Well framed with the trees too.

A shot that speaks of bygone times and a workplace now reduced to industrial archeology.
