Description
...those two small machines crawling up the surface of the mountain of tailings at the Cresson Surface Gold Mine in Victor, Colorado are actually two huge, full-tracked bulldozers.
...the October Monthly Challenge is a "Sense of Scale"...I better get over there and join in the fun. Here's a link if you haven't been there yet: Click Here.

Superb sense of scale, Bill! I have never seen anything like this before, Clive
Extraordinary!!
wonderful shot
OMG - that is a large heap of sand or whatever it is... Excellent shot showing the scale perfectly Bill. Thanks for promoting the Challenge! :)
Awesome capture Bill!! Bulldozers give great scale to the size of this strip mine!!
WOW! What a view and it is much larger than one can imagine if there were not the two bulldozers. Superb shot.
This is fantastic Bill, very clear and quite angular!
Great sense of scale alright have something similar to this down at the coal mine down the road from our place in the country, piles of tailings.. This is great in full view!!

Definitely gives one a sense of scale and depth - great shot, Bill! When I was a kid, every time we drove past a hill like that I used to tell my mom and dad "I could run up that hill in 15 minutes!" Now, it takes me 15 minutes to even think about working up the energy to get out of the car! LOL! The scale and distances involved in scenes like this can boggle the mind.
Very cool scene
Great image Hugs Susan
GREAT SHOT

A massive amount of earth moving going on here and this capture certainly does show a great sense of scale.
Tailings upon tailings upon tailings ... it boggles the mind! Excellent capture of this mining business. Nicely done!

For sure a MASSIVE sense of scale! Impressive panorama.. And thanks for the heads up about the new competition, I'll take a look.. But such destruction :-( Be cool to see one of those diggers close up lol Rob
Panorámica estupenda y muy interesante. Gran composición.
Wow, they are tiny :o)
Wow, those are some BIG wheels!!!
Amazing the turf they can settle into and build to suit their reason for being there...wow...
I past this also.superb shot
I've meet a fellow student in my photo classes who has become somewhat of an expert at photographing mines, of all things and he is making quite a name and business at it too. This is beautiful nice clarity.
