a lump of coal for christmas


A series of incredible aerial photos of coal mines.  I always imagined them being dark dingy down down down.  I wonder where I can learn more about that...  (It looks like 60% of coal mines are still underground but the rest are "open cast" like the one above.  It's so odd to see these big strip mines just happily coexisting with farms and even towns...)
