June 15th: Salt of the Earth
There seems to be a lot of salt mines in Eastern Europe with special attractions. Whether it's breathing salty air, or working where the Sun don't shine, salt miners seem to have a particular reverence for their workplace. I suppose the mines are refuge from winter cold and summer heat, so they build chapels... indeed churches, and museums, classrooms, you-name-it, down below. This mine in Yekaterinburg, Russia, could be a Disco... I guess Rave is the now hip term, it's the first psychedelic mine I've seen.
The round shapes are caused by the end of the boring machine, but the colors come from the Earth. The Russian photographer, Mikhail Mishainik, says; Quote:

A mine, and "where the Sun don't shine", reminded me of "Windmills of Your Mind":

As a kid I went to one of those European(Salzburg?) salt mines with my parents. We all had to dress in uniforms. Women in white and men in black. Then to get down into the mine we had to slide down looooOOOOOOOOng wooden slides that were spectacular looking and rather fun. it was pretty dang cool and memorable for a little kid.

The pic on the right (the bluer one) does look sort of nipply.
