Open mine shaft, Cape d'Or, Nova Scotia

            Taken in the summer of 2003, here's Susie getting a photo of the old Colonial Copper Company's Calca Brook shaft. The company closed around 1907 and most evidence that there had been any mining activity in the area has been "erased" by mother nature... except for the open mine shafts. "Nova Scotia Minerals Update" for Autumn, 2007 mentions that these shafts are among the most dangerous in the province and that visitors should exercise extreme caution when in the area. I had forgotten how large this opening was. I can't remember what Susie saw that caught her interest because from thirty feet below the surface, all the way down to the 300 foot level, everything is black. She might have been getting a wide angle shot of the top area with me on the opposite side.

Taken with my first digital camera, a Kodak DC4800.
