Been on crunch mode in my RL work these past few days and i've been thinking how despite the mild complaints and all-nighters, I feel blessed to be able to do what I love. All the times i've struggled to find courage to follow this dream, and yet here I am, following the light that I knew would be there at the end of the tunnel. Still a long way to go, but I'll just keep following this light~

From 1840 Cononley produced an average of 470 tons of lead ore per year until 1870, when output fell rapidly as the available ore was exhausted and new reserves were not found. The mine closed briefly in the slump of 1872, but reopened with a much smaller workforce before finally closing in 1881. www.nmrs.org.uk/mines-map/metal/mid-pennine-mines/fsouth/...

One of my attempts at the "Macro Mondays" theme "Tradition".
The New Years Eve tradition of 'Bleigießen' (molibdomancy/lead-pouring), is commonly found in certain parts of Europe and some other countries, if online sources are to be believed. Small metal figurines (in shapes of good luck symbols, bottles etc.) are molten in a special spoon over a candle and then poured into a bowl of water! The shapes which are created by that are then interpreted as signs/symbols for the coming year!
In my home country of Austria it‘s not something everybody does, but it seems to be common enough for these little metal figurines to be sold in grocery stores all around! If you stop to think about it, it‘s probably not the best idea ever to add molten metal and fumes into the mix of fireworks, lack of sleep and alcohol that accompany that night, but I guess part of tradition is also not constantly questioning it 😅!

Mittimatalik, known in English as Pond Inlet, is located on the northerly tip of Baffin Island in the Lancaster Sound region on the east side of Eclipse Sound.
The region has one of Canada's most inhospitable climates—with long, dark winters and temperatures averaging −30.8 °C (−23.4 °F) (December to February, meteorological reckoning). By 2021, Pond Inlet with a population of 1,555, along with Clyde River with 1,181 and Qikiqtarjuaq with 593, comprised the population of the Arctic Cordillera—about 3,300 people. Most of the people who live in the region survive by hunting, fishing, and trapping.
It is at this location, it is believed, was the last sighting of HMS Terror and HMS Erebus in 1845, of the ill fated Franklin expedition, by a party of Inuit whalers. The ships were observed transiting Eclipse Sound, shown above, into Navy Board Inlet on their search for the Northwest Passage.
