Loading in the pit

Loading in the pit
Memories of the huge opencast coal mine at Jalainur in the Mongolian Autonomous Region of China, close to the Russian border. Winter scenes there were invariably spectacular due to the very low temperatures which could fall as far as -40C. It is now all but closed with just a few lorries bringing the remaining coal out.
