Belgium Crane Mine 09/2019

[teddybear]

One of the latest underground explore of an abandoned slate mine. Quite long tunnels to get to a giant room where the ceiling was at lest 25m high. There were 2 old cranes there and a nice lake. Took some effort to reproduce the real blue colour (when lit with a flash light) . The cranes look tiny but were big.

Thanks guys. I took sometimes several attempt to get the lighting ok. My co explores was sometimes running with the flashlight into the tunnels.

You should of got a pic with a human in it to really show the scale of those cranes.

That would indeed give a sense of height in the room of picture 4. That vertical block was at least 8m high....
I am not the selfie type but here is one from there. The lake was bigger then the photo suggests.

Hmm maybe does the fish eye lens this location injustice. But the lake can be bigger depending of the rain..
