There's a lot of mining in that part of the country and depending on when that was taken, we are having the biggest radio telescope in the world being built out that way somewhere....  Camp fires.?... ;D

Well..this didn't seem to generate much interest over on the YouTube thread..so thought I'd post the URL here.

As said..it's a stunning video clip on pollinators from recent TED convention.  And since I'm a "Yohoka" (beekeeper in English) it really appealed to me.  Hope some others may enjoy also..
