The old mine

The old mine
The "Lake George Mine" in Captain's Flat closed in 1962. Mining for gold and copper had begun there almost a century earlier. In later years, large quantities of silver lead and zinc also were extracted. This was just across the range from our property. HFF!

You kept it quiet about you being named after a lake, George ;-)
I agree with Maria: you chose a perfect sky to show off the earthy ground and tree silhouettes.

Wishing you all the best for the weekend.

Underground water, and the unusual comings and goings of Lake George. There must be some interesting geology in this region.

They closed the entrance very thoroughly! I like the rich colour of the rocks.
