 finally able to drive again so i took a 300km round trip to test my shoulder ( ok wont go that far again }

having lived down this part of gippsland back in the 70's i had been here a few times before
the coal mining has progressed to a staggering size now and the scaring of the earth is immense

not much PP

unmask sharpening
levels
add border

i titled this because being in Australia where we have probably the most abundant sunshine and still have a heavy need for mining fossil fuels rather than look into more enviro friendly means of energy
to see how badly this area has been mined is what made me title the image such.
thanks for your comment

I thought it rather a good title, and certainly apt.
