Good shot of these giant metal containers against the delicate winter trees. Not everything in our world is pretty. V

The white containers really stand out against the gray, dead landscape. Great b/w image! V

an interesting view of your world, Karen!!

An important and controversial industry in West Virgina, when you consider the trade-offs between jobs and environmental damage. Coincidentally, I am reading a murder mystery that takes place in West Virginia and involves a coal company that uses mountaintop removal mining. A fine composition and journalistic photo. V

Great with these tones. Real and a bit surreal at the same time. "V"

Yep, in coal country you are. Excellent decision to take a pic of this.

An important industry and a dirty dangerous job. Yes, it is a huge part of your world. We get the benefit. Excellent entry for the challenge.

I understand that the U.S.A. has 300 years of coal reserves. A big chunk of it must be in WV.

What would we do without coal ..... Dig Baby, Dig!
