Man-made lakes

For decades gravel has been dug out of the fields around our village. That way we got the lakes. The wild birds love them and so do I. Unfortunately the ground of the lakes is still unsave and therefore it's not allowed to swim in them, although it's very, very tempting in summer. In some winters they freeze completely and it's interesting to watch the tracks of wild animals in the snow.

This is the journey of the gravel coming out of the ground:

 This is the digger, getting the gravel out of the ground under water.

On these belts the gravel travels towards the sorting shed.

 Here it goes unter the road up to the next belt.

At this place several belts meet and go up into the sorting shed.

 At this place the gravel gets loaded into trucks.

Gravel falling from the sorting belt.

At the end sand it gathered on a hill.
