Senum steinbrudd, Evje og Hornnes, Agder, Norge
Rock quarry with interesting exposures of pegmatite, migmatite, amphibolite, granite etc.
The quarry is still in use (2024), though there hasn't been any blasting in recent times.
However, I see that a lot of rock has been taken away the last couple of years.
That is very fortunate, because now it was possible to take some pictures of a pegmatite exposure in the NW wall of the quarry.
