Hotel Cigano
« on: December 17, 2014, 04:15:28 pm »

Last Monday we have been to Borba visiting the marble quarries.
I had previously arranged a visit with a local association and we were able to visit two quarries one of which is 100 meters deep. My wife and myself we jumped into one of these equipements and down we went. It is not a sallon for three but we were able to get into the cabin as the descent was just some 10 to 15 minutes.
My first photograph down there was this one. I had been taking photographs as we went down but nothing worth to share with you, at least for now.
The place was pretty muddy but I felt no danger whatsoever... however, some precautions must be taken.
The temperature was mild in contrast with some cold at the surface.
It is in fact the very same quarrier Michael Burtynsky has photographed some years ago. Picture number 7.

Under this thread I hope to be able to post some more images of this experience as I work on them.

Thank you Johnny. Glad you like it !  :)

Thank you David. It is a nice location to photograph yes. However, one should have a project before diving in.
My project is about quarries and their exploration. Not like Michael Burtynsky of course... :)
