I was still at school when this photo was taken. You wouldn't have any more by any chance would you Geoff? I agree with burtspieater, I could stand all day watching a dragline. The last time I saw one working was in the south of France, dredging gravel out of the river Drome. Hypnotising..........WHAT DO YOU MEAN SAD, Veebee?

Whatever makes the earth move Ed be it bomb or bulldozer, Personally I would rather see the landscape enhanced.
