Abandoned Mine
Mining in Glendalough dates back to the 1790’s where lead, zinc and silver were mined both in the Glendalough Valley and the next adjacent Valley, Glendasan. Mining in this area took place for over 150 years and at the peak of production 2,000 miners were employed. Mining continued up until 1957.

Hi Ben,Great scene with a wonderful light and colours.
I've roamed around in Ireland this summer, but must have missed this one, obviously.
Great country, by the way :-), will post some pics soon
Best regards, Massimo
