Rio Tinto (Spain)

Now this one looks like something from a sci-fi flick. The huge opencast mines of the Spanish Rio Tinto not only projects the deepest of red streaks in its colour but has grown so much that much like madness of a day in the life of Dr. Spock, this bad boy has taken over entire villages and mountains!
