I think it is pretty big, big enough for vast in the 19th century.  

Although stone was taken from this site, to build Princetown and Dartmoor prison,  before the quarry proper opened in 1820, it still amazes me what man can do by means of manual labour.

Even the big machinery look insignificant.

if you are wondering about the title I gave the photo, it's because a friend of mine is a retired quarry manager, and he loves anything relating to aggregate so I took the photo for him!

The container ship making the background here is vast. At the time I think it would have been in the 20 biggest in the world but they're constantly stretching that.

Thanks to Kate for reminding me of starscapes, in this one I cram in a tree, shooting star & lightning as well as stars

For those who obsess about shots being level, that just lost too much here, and the shot was taken without the benefit of a tripod (just with the camera resting on a table).

Nevada is a pretty vast state. Could be quite a while before the next gas stop.
