Southern Sardinia: after a swim and some sunbathing at the Masua beach, we visited a unique mining structure, just on time to seek shelter from the storm. In two years (1923-25) 20 miners carved a loading port in the mountain: 8 pits for storing the minerals and two galleries 600m long, ending with a window on a cliff plunging down to the sea. Big ships would moor just aside the cliff, protected from the waves by the Sugar Loaf, and a conveyor belt would come out from the window and load the minerals directly in the ship's hold. A clever engineering!
Here we were peeping out from the loading window, while the storm was raging.
@helenhall Thank you very much, Helen. Someone said: we should hire the same workers for the subway contracts in Rome! @joemuli 😊🙏🏻 @yaorenliu I was looking to get the pouring rain, but I couldn't use a tripod, sadly, and had to make do. @leonbuys83 Thank you, Leon. Actually the texture is just the rain, it was literally pouring. @joysabin Can't beat Mother Nature for that... Thank you!
