Figured I would throw up one more series.

Rocanville potash Mine in saskachew: 1km down

was a good time, saw lots of cool stuff. the photos sometimes might be a little shakey, I didnt have a tripod and was trying to shoot at 1/5 and slower shutter speeds... and thats not so easy. lol using the flash lost the colour.
enjoy:

Wow, that's pretty wild. Definately not a place I'd want to work at though!

Agreed, also not a place I'd take my camera. Very interesting series.

Yes indeed, thanks for posting this series. It's something that I am certain very few people would otherwise have the chance to see, myself included. I found it fascinating.

Cruisn: do you work in this mine, or any other?
