  9. Thanks for the comments.

    Birdman: Chile?

    Cezar and Léia: Well, this old mine is not so far away from you. It is la musée du carreau Wendel, in Petite Rosselle near Forbach. You get a good feel for what it was like to work in the mines.

    Joan Elizabeth: There was plenty of mechanical stuff in this mine.

    Elena: Este carbón ya está destronado. Ya no trabajan en esta mina. A ver si podemos vivir con solamente viento y sol.

    Catarina: Gracias.

    wooki: Danke. Warst du schon da? Die haben sich bei der Austellung wirklich Mühe gemacht.

    joo: Get you helmet and your lamp and go for it!

    Petra Mafalda: Obrigado. I am not sure what a wocky is but it is a great word. If it is not an English word, it should be!

    Sandra: The mine closed in 1986. Now there is an amazing museum housed in bright red, tilted chocolate boxes.

  11. My first visit to your blog and this is a very cool image and I love how the artificial light sources make the colours stand out.

    I love "The Rules" too :-)

  12. Birdman: I eventually looked up the Chile story. Amazing, indeed. I hope they all get out safely. It looks like they have another three or four months underground.
