Historical Sequence
Here is a sequence of photographs taken from the same place over several years. You can see how the scale of the quarry has expanded vastly in that time. As the quarry has expanded the photographer has had to zoom out to capture the wider quarry - so use the trees and radio mast on the horizon to judge the quarry expansion.
If you click on the small images below you will get the mid-sized photo. If you want to download the full-sized photo then click on the "extra large" link.
