Copperton Up the Bingham (Canyon) Copper Mine (Kennecott Copper Mine) contains the world's largest quarry, a mountain decimated and replaced by a hole roughly 2.5 miles wide, 1/2 mile deep. Copperton is a town outside of the quarry. the photographs were taken at the quarry base. elsewhere i've documented the hole itself, as anyone can, either from Worldwind or from a lookout at the edge of the excavation. towns were built on the slopes. thanks to automation, a workforce of 1000s has been reduced to 800-some (1400-some by other accounts). I wanted to capture the grandeur and agony of the landscape! I have succeeded! http://www.asondheim.org/copperton.mov _
