Thanks for the info on the art, Joe, and the tie-in to Gurlitt. I remember reading about that a few years back.

Those open pits are beautiful in their own way.

Copper Mountain mine in Princeton, B.C., about a 3 hour drive from Vancouver. I've heard it was just re-opened.

Lornex /  Highland Valley near Logan Lake, largest open pit mine in Canada, and one of the largest in the world.

Spud Huestis who staked it lived up the road two miles from here, nice guy.

Isn't it interesting that they are reopening what they deemed unworthy 10 or 20 yrs ago ?
Same here with our iron ore pit. In the 80s and 90s they were slowly shutting it down because imported steel was cheaper, but with newly found interest in future technology, they couldn't get it reopened quick enough.
I am sure it's the same or even bigger with your Canadian mines, but the ore trucks are just giants. the tires are taller than a person. when you see those trucks in the pit, they look like little bugs or ants. thats how tall those steps in the pit are.

When I was fourteen years old, I was amazed at how unintelligent my father was. By the time I turned twenty-one, I was astounded at how much he had learned in the last seven years!
