I am guessing it's a trona, gypsum, bentonite or borate mine. More likely, trona or gypsum.

great b/w conversion, interesting composition, and use of repetition. this is one of those "perfect" images you don't often see.

Thanks! Not sure about what type of operation...I'll take your word for it

For a B&W study Id like to see a composition like this....

I see....interesting. Not a fan if the LHS? I like the shapes and movement on the right as well

 

[Bynx]

What is LHS? I might even love it, if I knew what it was.

The LHS makes the image!! The conveyer machines replicate the incline, providing for repetition in line. The small mound of asphalt mimics the larger mounds, the railroad tracks mimic the retaining wall, which mimics the horizon, leading my eye back to the the machinery and incline.

There is a lot going on here to like, removing elements would destroy that.

Yep...LHS and RHS we used for engineering problems in college....but they come in handy for photo talk as well.

Any image like this is going to have some segments that are interesting, and that would have been worth investigating when you were there - for example the upper left is also interesting on its own. The whole image works as it is, though.

Glad you like it, Ken. Thanks!

IDUABPTSWO = I dont usually abbreviate but prefer to spell words out. Gee I thought everyone knows that.
