elephant

This was taken a couple of years ago. The elephants come every summer with the circus. We were having an internet discussion and I had mentioned that the only death inflicted by an animal in Timmins was by an elephant. I love this picture with the headframe in the background. Headframes are put over the elevator wheels and cables that run the cage up and down to the mine workings. With gold over $1000.00 we are in the middle of a substantial gold rush. This is an abandoned headframe, but now there are drills in the stretch behind the elephant, and mining shall probably resume in this location.
