End of a series - Walking the ladder


I have told you about the different elevators that they used in the mines, and also mentioned that they had to climb ladders in the beginning. This shot shows how the ladders were placed in the mines. All ladders went down to a kind of platform where they could get to the next ladder. You can imagne that doing this for a couple of hundred meters or more is quite hard.

Not everyone gets an opportunity to get photos of such subject matter. You are fortunate to have the chance.
