"Blegny-mine Go Round"

I had a lot of fun doing my first panorama on the "parc de la Boverie" in Liège (Belgium) and I did it again on the Blegny-mine site in Blegny (still in Belgium). However, this time, no menacing sky, only a nice blue sky! A dozen photos were taken and assembled with software.
Anyone for an upside down walk?

The arduous labour of our Veterans

Blegny-mine site in Blegny, Belgium.
The pickaxe is particularly symbolic in the area... A lot of people worked hard in this mine 'till 1980 to bring raw material and wealth to the country, make a living and feed the family.
It took me a few trials before getting an interesting angle to see both the main structure of the site and the pickaxe on the same picture, symbolically planted in this rock. Quite a good result in my opinion...

This is no roller coaster

Here's the (so called in French) 'skip', used for raw material conveying in Blegny mines (Belgium).
These tip trucks are seen on the Blegny-mine site.
