“COAL MINE” from above the clouds.
In this aerial photograph, imagine an outback coal mine seen through a layer of clouds, with some of the clouds lightly obscuring sections of the mine to create a sense of depth. Below, working in the mine, bulldozers and mining machinery scattered throughout, their tracks winding across the ground. So Incredibly surreal!!! , I just love the Australian outback !
