hi Randy
The rock is made of solid granit..which as im sure you know is extremly hardand light gray in color going to a darker gray..but when wet like it is in the capture and combining a direct angle of the sun..it looked like silver monutain shinning brightly in the morning..the softer earth top soil is composed mostly of iron which is why it has such a red look to it..
thanks for your comments
Rex
I have attatched a cropped close up of the same pic..on the 7th layer down from the top..and on the right side...you can see what i belive is minning equipment parked...it gives a little better perspective of the sheer size of this cross section of a mountain quarry

Hugo, I think that sign says, Keep away from my silver! ;)

What kind of a quarry is it? Is the rock normally silver or just because it is wet?
Very cool shot.

Hey Rex, so you have a silver mine for sale, heh? Very cool shot, in the thumb it looked like a too perfectly aligned set of geological lines, but now I just see silver....:)

I like the shadow cast across this photo, as well as the distance cue; Very good capture of the cglistening rock and the red toplayer. The details in the lower left (apparently a huge digger/excavator) also create a good reference to the sheer size of the quarry.

Two things I wonder about: Would it have been possible to insert a near by object in the composition? I think it could really add to the composition (if not used dominantly) and secondly: what is written on the white sign in the top left corner...?

Cheers,

Hugo
