I visited Broken Hill in New South Wales; a mining city where gold was first discovered in the 1880’s. It is still operational today, mining silver and lead too. Overlooking the main habitation is the Line Of Load Miners Memorial. This extraordinary monument commemorates and remembers all the who lost their lives in mining accidents. Dotted around the site is a display of redundant mining vehicles. I have used two of the photos I took. In the bottom section is a view from the drivers seat of the steering wheel and dashboard. Above that is montaged a side view of the engine of another vehicle (don’t ask…). I have then put at the top of the picture in the narrow strip, a close up of a combine harvester that was an exhibit at the Royal Norfolk Show. I collaged these three elements together because….they were yellow! I thought they fitted quite well together, and you might see some sort of rhythm through the image. I accentuated the colour and applied a filter for effect.
