Skywatch....
This is a photo taken several years ago, July 1994 to be exact, so it is a scanned image. This used to be one of my favorite fishing ponds. It is huge and is the result of strip mining. The mining has been closed down for 5 or 6 years at least, the property leased to private owners, and everything is under lock and key. I cannot even get near this strip pit, and even if I could I would only cry because I absolutely loved that place. I spent a lot of happy hours there--sometimes with the family but also without. It was about 6 minutes from home, so if I had a couple hours through the day, I might go catch a mess of fish.
