The Amiandos asbestos mine
Description
A wide view across a mining site on steep hillsides. Several buildings and a long shed with a sloping roof stand on terraced ground, with dust or smoke rising among the works. Bare, graded slopes and waste banks run down toward shrubs and a few trees in the foreground, with wooded hills behind.
