Description
We went to the Coal Minor’s Museum. This is the “Cage”. OMG I would be totally terrified to have to ride this thing every day to get to work. The miners used to get in, a chain was placed across the front and back and the men held on to two bars on the top of the cage. Then they were dropped into the mine.

If you don't mind a quick crit, I was a bit distracted by the amount of space on each side being different. Maybe crop it just a little to make the margins on the sides even, and find a way to get rid of the date? (That's just my opinion, though. I'm no photographer. 
Aside from that, I really like this. Looking into that thing, I feel trapped and claustrophobic already.

I was too looking at it. We actually got to go into the mine to, but we walked in instead of taking that thing. I dont' have a clue how they could do that every day. Now I have a great appreciation for what my grandfather used to do. I have no clue how he could have gone into the mine riding the Cage.
I know about the dates. I keep forgeting to turn it off.
Thanks. I too would feel the same way. I felt that way just standing on the outside. I was gonna jump up in it, but I had second thoughts.
