The Chalk Pits

A white scar in a green hill, copper and tin in the chalk, a yard trodden flat.

A closer look

At the threshold

From the green hillside, the quarry looks like a wound filled with light. White dust covers the worked yard and catches in every tool mark. The newest cuts are busy with miners; the older ones disappear quietly into the hill.
