    Mining in a dark world beneath the feet of those working in the light. Great use of thought and art, rabirius.

    If not for your title, I’d have assumed it was a homeless man sleeping in an abandoned burrow. Lordy! What a sad job!

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Yes, indeed. Thank you, Kim.

      Yes, this is the effect when you learn how mining worked – and still works in some places.

            Interesting.
            It’s probably like some cave house, I guess.

          2. rabirius Avatar

            Ah, okay. 🙂

    That looks just miserable Rabirius. You captured the misery of the job perfectly

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Yes, that was the intention.
      Thank you.

    En dan te bedenken dat er landen zijn waar nog steeds onder deze erbarmelijke omstandigheden ontgonnen wordt. Een museum scenario zie ik in de tags maar wel een sterk beeld van een uiterst ongemakkelijke houding

      Bedankt Henk. Ja, het is waar dat er nog steeds mensen werken onder dergelijke omstandigheden. En dankzij de globalisering.

    This is an emotionally wrenching image, Rabirius. Terrific work.

    A great picture, My grandfather was a miner all his life from age 14 to 65 he worked below ground in the coal mines. The days of pick and shovel and pit ponies.. He would work often knee deep in water and suffered terribly with Arthritis and Rheumatism in later years…
    His escape was his allotment.. ( he taught me a lot about gardening)

    Wishing you a great weekend <3

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Yes, this is a hard job – and I guess in some parts of the world it still is done with pick and shovel and without the use of modern technology.
      Have a great weekend as well!

      1. Sue Dreamwalker Avatar

        Yes I am certain it is.. Hope your weekend went well, 🙂

        1. rabirius Avatar

          It was. I hope yours was as well.

          1. Sue Dreamwalker Avatar

            Thank you, It was perfect.. As this one will be, ENOY yours too rabirius 😀

    You captured well the lot of a truly toiling man and his fatigue.

    Good one, Rabirius 🙂
