The view across the old quarry towards Llanberis. The lit up part near the foreground is the hydro-electric power station. Taken just in the last light after the sun had gone down. Looks a steep drop but I was stood behind the metal safety barrier!
Thanks very much for viewing. Have a good week.
An old quarry, white fence and train tracks...an unusual combination for a rather beautiful view. Maybe not that unusual after all.
Rano Raraku is known as “the quarry” as it was here where the moai were carved and then taken to the ahus distributed throughout the island. The quarry is made of tuff, i.e. hardened volcanic ash and is, therefore, softer and easier to cut; although it’s more fragile than basalt, a material used primarily as a sculpting tool.

I've always thought about photographing the magnificent old moss covered trees in Ricklow Quarry. But it's a photo I've always missed as it means unpacking the camera gear again.
With recent tree felling (I think these are safe), I thought I'd better take this opportunity.
I got myself in a position to fill the background fully with the quarry spoils. A foggy day would be nice. It might not help too much though as you can't get enough distance to compress the fog.
