Along the same lines, historic gold mining dredge at  Chatanika north of Fairbanks, Alaska. This shows the tail end and the channel it dug out through the landscape. The dredge was destroyed by a fire in 2013.



(Old slide scan, 20mm f/2.8 on Nikon F4, probably Fuji Velvia.)


Front end of the rig.

Øivind, very interesting machinery, a quite landcape altering process one would think.

Øivind, are you sure there's no gold left :)
The machine looks impressive!

Geoffrey those guts really are brave! I hope they are paid well!

Impressive images in this thread

The industrial sites I have easily accessible would need for me to stand on roads with speeding cars, while at times they  do look interesting I never got enough motivation to go shoot them

The industrial site that was turned into a park looks absolutely fantastic.

Thanks for commenting Thomas and Jakov.
Yes dimensions of the dredge were even more impressive than the images indicate, quite a monster. At the time one could walk inside and explore. Unfortunately I do not have scans of any of those images at this time and I recall some problems with low light levels.

Jakov, sure there is lots of gold left. Fort Knox is a large gold mining company just north of Fairbanks, http://www.paulcolor.com/index.php#mi=2&pt=1&pi=10000&s=1&p=0&a=0&at=0
There are several stores in Fairbanks specializing in selling equipment for small scale gold mining, like wet suits etc. (for panning in steams).  As in the old days the ones getting "rich" on that are the suppliers of equipment, so it is called "recreational gold mining".

Industrial sites needn't be crammed with smoke stacks ....
