Canadian Diamonds From Crossworks
Along with Gold, Silver, Nickle, Oil & Gas I also get to photograph Diamonds. No they are not in beautiful little box, nor are they behind glass display case, but straight from the mines they were found in. I was lucky enough to watch (and photograph) some of the procedures to creating that exquisite sparkle diamond from a piece of rock that looked rather…….well…………bland at the Crossworks Manufacturing facility.

Touring A Canadian Mine
Once in awhile I get asked to tag along on a mine tour when the mine inventors, CEOs, or board of directors are touring the facilities. I enjoy this type of work because I can pretty well just be in the background and photograph what I can. This particular group got to take the images back to their Country with them as a keepsake. Here are just a few.

This Newalta worker checks the clarity of the waste water as it is going through the purification process. Starting out with muddy, brackish liquid the water is now clear enough to see through.

Cleaning The Muddy Waters Of Mining
A refinery supervisor overlooks the first stage of the tailings pond, one of three ponds on the property. Tailing ponds are areas of refused mining tailings where the waterborne refuse material is pumped into a pond to allow the sedimentation (meaning separation) of solid particles from the water. When the process is completet the purified water can thus be reused in the processing cycle. The tailings from this facility are from actual tailings where minerals were further removed due to advancement in technology.

High Above Or In A Hole
Safety is something that I take very seriously when on a job site, and for good reason too. I may not be a Miner or Industrial worker but I am in some of the same environments facing some of the same hazards. From on top of cranes or down in holes and trenches the possibility for something to go wrong is always present. That is why I am constantly taking training courses on safety so that I can remain safe on the job site. Today I just finished my Confine Space course along with the Fall Arrest Module, 2 places where I could find myself in the near future again. Being prepared is the best measure to keep myself, and my contracted company safe.
