Forest quarry

Uploader's Comments

A large part of a low hill in the forest has practically been levelled in order to extract rock which is then crushed to provide material to build a new forestry road. Seeing how thin is the layer of soil above the solid rock, it is a wonder that such large trees are able to grow in such conditions.
