Bird's Eye View

Got invited to take an aerial tour of the area.  The photo shows the mine buildings as seen from a Russian Mi-8---the most widely produced helicopter in the world.  Room for an American football team inside!!
The mine keeps the helicopter on the site in case of an emergency and, if needed, to help remote villages in the area with occasional supply runs.
