Great photos and I love the colors. Interesting and I will have to check out this out when I make it that way, always nice to find hikes and places that I may not really ever see had I not seen otherwise.

Worth a visit if you are near the area – the remains of the aerial ropeway are very interesting to see

My god, I feel like I’ve just been on a tour of Middle Earth! These ‘stopes’ are other-worldly!

And quite humbling too when you consider all the work that must have into carving them out.
