Brown Coal Mining Inden - Conveyor

What's being digged up must be carrried away, seemingly endless conveyor belts are used for the transport.

This scene reminds me somewhat of the movie Koyaanisqatsi, endless conveyor belts cutting through the landscape. Here at the edge only the upper stratum, plain earth, is being digged up, the brown coal strata lie deeper.
