The Geevor Mine

The headworks of the former Geevor tin mine. That red door really leaps from the image, I promise I haven't boosted the colour. :-) So what's it about? See the first PiP. The other PiPs are of an outdoor museum, an old waterwheel and an ore stamper. Well, being Friday, all I can say is HFF and best wishes for the weekend, everyone.

Explored.

These Cornish tin mines are very interesting. Did you take a trip down into the mine?
HFF and have a good weekend.

Thank you, Amelia. As far as I know there are no tours of the Geevor mine itself. There are tours, however, down an earlier mine which was discovered by accident when the Geevor mine was operating. Here's my image from that tour: www.ipernity.com/doc/tiabunna/48589454

I can see from the PiP why they painted it such a bright red! A great industrial series.

HFF, enjoy your weekend

Down here we're supposed to be moving into winter from the start of June, but it's still very warm indeed during the day (25C/77F). I'm certainly not complaining. :-)
