I posted some while back some shots from my summer holiday snaps. went rummaging around the network today, and found my dad had uploaded some that i didnt know about Thought i'd post them here as i thought they were rather cool!

Taken just after we had arrived, went to the Big Pit in south wales, a old mine turned museum. I'm the one on the far right - shock horror


Unfortunately couldnt take any photos in the mine, cameras were contraband, due to dry cell batteries (battery acid+explosive gasses = bad!) but my dad took this one of me and my brother and sister in all our attire



After reemerging from the mine - which was very very cold! - got to see what had been taking us down and safely brought us back to ground again


Overview of the bulk of the museum


Final shot


Hope you like, btw i dont take all the credit for some of these photos, like the ones with me in!!!

Looks like an interesting place, a shame no cameras are allowed down the mine.  :(

went there on a school trip.
some of the worst weather I have ever experienced in my life. The wind on the top of the hill litterally blew people off their feet.
Pretty cool place though.

Pity about not letting you take your camera down there...Would've been fantastic to see some shots from inside...Still, these are fantastic...

Dunno how the lighting was...
For that kind of situations, you need a batteryless camera with some really fast film in it

That's interesting... what was mined there- coal?

you could get away with using like one of those original cameras that had no batteries, or use one that used wet cells, would weigh a ton though.
Cheers guys for all the positive comments

Ahh..home sweet home...well..not the mine obviously..but I live about 25 mins away from it  ;D

Gonna miss those welsh hills and more importantly the sheep when I move  :(

Good fun in the pit though!
