It is amazing to me that this tall wooden mine structure is still standing after being abandoned 50 years ago, particularly because the wood is unprotected by paint or preservative. It must have been built to be sturdy to handle the heaving mining operations.
Of course I would not want to stay under the heavy timbers of such an old, damaged structure for very long.

This would be an even more dramatic scene on a dark and stormy night, rather than a bright and sunny afternoon.
It is amazing that there is so much left there.
Hi Julie - I saw some of the pics from your Tanzania trip - wow! Looks like you've taken some pretty awesome trips! It's nice to be back in the photo blogging world after a year's absence. Hope life is good!
Amazing that it is still standing given the extreme temps and possibly snow
A fascinating place. They were building very well, in olden times! It was meant to last.
