Granite is mined in many places in Ticino. At this point you have a good view of such a mine. You can clearly see the gradual dismantling and the devices and machines that are stationed high up on the rocks. With binoculars or a zoom lens, you can also observe details. The workers on such ledges must have a head for heights. You can see very well how much effort you have to put into making a beautiful granite slab. After dismantling, the cuboids are cut and sanded.
