Crushing & Stamping

Posted by Steve Rice (Olympia, United States) on 19 July 2011 in Business & Industry.

The track is on the right, the crusher to the left and the stamps further to the left. In fact, the top of the stamps are the two rods at the end of the upper structure.

I like the contrast between man and nature made. Even after man has gone, the natural continues ^^

It almost feels surprising that they don't, or someone doesn't, keep this place going,
forever in the search for gold. Its really a romantic and beautiful link to the past.

Dokmateo from Spain

I like the clarity of all your photos. Well detailed. Excellent Steve. Two thumbs up. What software are you using? =)

19 Jul 2011 11:25pm

@Dokmateo: Photoshop and the various On-One and Nik plug-ins. Once in a while, I use the Topaz plug-ins, also.

Viewfinder from Bradenton, FL, United States

Nice architectural artifact Steve, I agree with Dokmateo's comment about your clarity and detail. Your photos and processing together are always a fine combination.
