Yesterday I visited one of my favorite places, the old copper mines "Finngruvorna" I have posted some photos from there before. The color of the water is fantastic and also the colors of the lichen and moss on the stones. This very old mining field opened in the 17th century and lasted until the 19th century. Bye using fire and black powder they made the bedrock crack. Then they could start ore mining. To keep the mines from flood in they used horses to operate the pumps. Today the water has taken back the mines. Because of the copper the water has this beautiful green-blue colour. But it is poisonous. The deepest hole is 54 meters deep. That is why the fences have bin put up around the mining holes. All comments are most wellcome. I thank you in advance for taking the time. Always greatly appreciated!

It's not how many megapixels. But how you use the ones you have.
My 1st thought was that it looked like a nice place for a quick dip, but then I read about the poisonous aspect of the water, but still a beautiful place and a onderful post. Thanks for sharing one of your favourite places.

This is truly amazing. The colour of that water is so lovely yet deadly. I love the contrast between the water and the rock which works wonderfully indeed. Well done!

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??
That water is so beautiful Susanne. The one pool in upper left is really interesting with the deep colors. I would have liked to seen more of it. Nice post and info.

The colour of the water is beautiful but deadly. Nice image with very good clarity.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
Agree with you Susanne, the different tones of water, lichen and other moss on the stones make this to a wonderful image. Good post!

Wonderful colors and detail. In the pond in the lower right, I really like how the light plays off it.

That water really is fantastic, such a rich deep blue and so clear. I can see why this is one of your favourite places Susanne, I think it would be one of mine too.
