While driving down an East Texas country road I spotted this scene. The autumn trees and the late afternoon sun made these golden bales of hay shine just a little bit more. Fortunately I had my camera with me. (c) James Q. Eddy Jr.

NPR

Published October 4, 2007 at 11:37 AM CDT

Peter Bailey, chairman of health and safety for the National Union of Mine Workers in South Africa, discusses rescue developments at the Elandsrand gold mine in Carletonville, a town in South Africa's mining heartland near Johannesburg. More than half of the 3,200 men and women were stranded more than a mile underground when the one elevator that carries miners to the surface broke down after an accident. Most have now been pulled to safety. Bailey speaks with Deborah Amos.
