I was a bit late at the spot around 11:00 am &#8211; &#8220;the worst time for any photographer&#8221; \ud83d\ude42 There was not even one cloud to cover a bit of the strong March sun.

After passing the buildings and warehouses, you come to a paved road where only heavy trucks are apparently moving, because after passing only a few hundred meters, my car almost broke down. Shortly after, you reach the mine itself.<br \/>The Elshica mine crater is much larger, with a road in the
