by Corey Lablans Photography

(39^th Week, Year 5 – 1729 days – 1 missed) 

2018 02 19 – A couple check out one of the snow carving sculptures at Prince Arthur’s Landing along Thunder Bay’s shoreline. This sculpture is titled “Leonard Cohen,” created by Michael O’Connor and Vic Germaniuk. This year’s theme was Pop Culture.

(Nikon D7000 w 80-400 f4.5-5.6 @185mm f6.3 1/2500^th I.S.O. 400) 

2018 02 20 – Snow from the night before falls from the trees, glistened by the setting sun. This wooden fence along Nelson Street in Fort Frances made for a lovely winter photograph.

(Nikon D7000 w 80-400 f4.5-5.6 @185mm f8 1/1600^th I.S.O. 400)

2018 02 21 – Two larger drills work away on the 280 bench in the main open pit. The pit changes on a daily basis with benches being demolished and new ones being created.

(Nikon D7000 w Sigma 28mm Manual f2.8 @28mm f8 1/500^th I.S.O. 200) 

2018 02 22 – This is another view of the two drills from the day before. They are continuing on the pattern, drilling 10-meter deep holes for blasting.

(Nikon D7000 w Sigma 28mm Manual f2.8 @28mm f8 1/1000^th I.S.O. 200)

2018 02 23 – A Komatsu haul truck waits to be loaded in the main pit. Komatsu was founded in 1917 by Takeuchi Mining Industry to manufacture in house mining equipment.

(Nikon D7000 w 70-200 f2.8 @95mm f4 1/5000^th I.S.O. 400) 

2018 02 24 – The rising sun starts to light up the western wall of the pit as a drill works on a pre-shear blast pattern. When blasted this acts as a vent to release gases from blasts in front, helping prevent damage to structures. In this case it is helping prevent cracking of the main wall.

(Nikon D7000 w 70-200 f2.8 @75mm f8 1/250^th I.S.O. 200)

2018 02 25 – A slice of pizza awaits consumption.

(Nikon D7000 w 50 f1.8 @50mm f4 1/50^th I.S.O. 400 w SB800)
