We have visited several other caverns -- some small some grand. They all have many similarities --- and I find them all beautiful. When you are in a section where they turn the lights out and you feel the vast darkness engulf you, where the only sound is that of the person next to you and your own breathing. Well it is an awesome almost spiritual feeling.Patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14800220805290554359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5969775012135767870.post-6873472738114887232009-06-11T01:16:49.585-05:002009-06-11T01:16:49.585-05:00Whoa!! Impressive indeed!
If you could take them ...Whoa!! Impressive indeed! <br />If you could take them without flash there must have been enough light inside the cavern then? Pretty unusual in most of the caverns I have seen so far. Light seems to affect the delicate structures, it is said? We're not allowed to take pictures even? Hmmm. <br />Great shots, I can even see drops of water falling down!Jientjehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14133675047491618720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5969775012135767870.post-51673933985549924322009-06-11T00:41:27.149-05:002009-06-11T00:41:27.149-05:00Wow.
