@ Georg jun

Qustion, do you have a program to reduce the size ?

If not send me the pics i reduce them for you

How to get the pic in ???

In your post it says additional Options ( Bottem left)
In Attach you search in the PC which file to upload

If you have more pics you press (more attachments) max 4 files can be uploaded

When all pics are selected from your PC press Post

Ideal is about 500 to 700 Pixel width and less then 100 kb per/pic

Title: Re: Photo's inside mining area
Post by: georg ruf jr. on November 17, 2007, 08:11:08 PM
Thanks oldman. It was the size that made a problem.
Title: Re: Photo's inside mining area
Post by: georgswa (Georg Ruf) (RIP) on November 17, 2007, 08:15:22 PM

Title: Re: Photo's inside mining area
Post by: Alfred Boehme on November 23, 2007, 08:29:15 PM
Georg I don't think so 50G runes has a reservoir towards the bottom right of Photo

If you look at this photo the tipping bin is closer to the plant

Georg you spot on that was my testing, trying to take photo of a photo not to bad I think

If you look at tha coast line it seems to have moved back quite a bit there are some old see walls that seem to be about 200m from the current coast line and I though global warming will do the opposite? here's a photo of the gully to the south of the SWI

Two cranes in tandem to move 50ton Transformer, one of the main supply transformers to our little Town, Mine. It was decided that the two transformers where to close to each other if one where to rupture it would distroy the other so they moved it further apart and build a wall between them "40MVA"  66kV to 30kV, safely in its new location
