You were actually able to walk some ways into the mine? How cool is that? My brother was fascinated with the deserted mining towns and would always stop to explore. I love the newsprint frames and the blending is outstanding!! Love the gold alpha, and I love that you added some greenery to the plants in the photo to create a pleasing border.
Ooh, made me go look this one up! Looks like a fascinating place to learn about - apart from the tragic deaths of the four miners. Seems like the water situation was temporary, so I wonder if it was not such a profitable mine worth the trouble to shore up the safety and reopen. Looks like the town was a fun tour. Terrific page!
