More things abstract & almost psychadelic

Opportunities to photograph these wonderful ever-changing pits of earthy mush are becoming rare as the environmental standards are becoming tighter. These days it is more usual to use large removable tanks so you don't get to see the recycling drilling mud in all its glory. Here are some recent shots from where i was working in Queensland. These pits were only recycled water with no drilling muds added and it's the ground up rock that creates the wonderful froth and colours (metallic in the case of the very fine bright coal). Enjoy, (i certainly did, taking an awful lot of photos in between core runs .....every core run made a different effect in the pits.) And don't mention the cows.........
