I hear the word MINE and all I can think of is seagulls in Finding Nemo. However, today it was all about copper mining at the Kennecott Utah Copper's Bingham Canyon Mine. I am pretty sure I did not take a photo today the conveyed how big this mine truly is. It's one of the only man-made structures you can see from space.
The mining pit is 2 3/4 miles across and almost 3/4 of a mile deep. It was totally fascinating to see and some of the shots I took, one could swear you were photographing Tonka trucks, not real ones.
A worthwhile trip if you are ever in the Salt Lake City area!
