USA Mathies Mine 8/2019

[Beneficial-Cucumber]

This is an underground coal mine that is approx. 37 km. Construction started in the early 40s and was named after a Medal of Honor recipient Archie Mathies, a former employee of the mine that was killed in an air crash in 1944. The mine has 9 entrances and was closed in 2002

Looks interesting, I like the third shot.

That's cool. It definitely helps to have a tripod to take long exposures in these kind of places. Also worth having a 4 gas monitor to check the air levels as coal mines in particular can contain high levels of methane

Or a canary (the gas monitor may be a bit more practical....)

Good effort here, seems like it would be a pretty grim place to work.
