A view through Luon Cave in Ha Long Bay, which passes through a limestone karst island at this beautiful UNESCO Heritage Site. Small boats can pass under the stalactites that are reflected in the turquoise water in this image where you can see through to the light on the other side.
The caves run deep into the hillside above West Wycombe village and directly beneath St Lawrence's Church and Mausoleum (which were also constructed by Sir Francis Dashwood around the same time the caves were excavated). West Wycombe Park, ancestral seat of the Dashwood family and also a National Trust property, lies directly across the valley. The caves' striking entrance, designed as the façade of a mock gothic church and built from flint and chalk mortar, which was erected in around 1752, can be viewed directly from West Wycombe House.
……Not caves at all really but an old Slate quarry which has left this huge cavernous opening under Loughrigg Fell in Cumbria, its usually a paddle or walk on stepping stones to get inside but once inside its quite dry for most part. Alan:-)………

Many thanks for stopping by to view and comment on my photos. It is very much appreciated and welcome.
A 2-3 hour walk within Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park including a 400-500m climb and descent though caves brings you out into this large open chasm with two large holes in the cave roof where sun light streams in. Over a period of an hour the sun moved overhead until it was streaming down directly onto a Pavilion built during the reign of King Rama V 122 years ago.

Thank you very much for your visit and taking the time to comment! Really appreciated! 💕
Known as the "secret cave", this cave is not really a secret, but it is very difficult to get to on foot. Timing is key - it can only be accessed at low tide. There are also some tough climbs on the way, it's definitely not accessible on foot to everyone.

I think a return trip to Hocking Hills needs to happen soon. This is Ash Cave, and the falls at the far end are 90' high.
The Eben Ice Caves (also known at the Rock River Canyon Ice Caves) are located in the 4,000 acre Rock River Canyon Wilderness in the Hiawatha National Forest. They are about 20 miles southwest of Munising, Michigan, off of Highway M94

We made the short hike which includes a slickrock ascent, to the Sand Caves near Kenab, Utah. The caves were created in the 1970s by sand miners to make glass. The caves are now a popular tourist attraction. Near a highway, they receive a lot of visitors. Many of them have chiseled graffiti in the sandstone.
Happy Flare Friday!
This is one of the two locations in the cave that Disney filmed Tom and Huck, with Jonathan Taylor Thomas.
I often find Khumbu in this cave. It seems to be his favourite place. Cool in summer, warm in winter.
Calinawan Cave got its name from the word linaw, a Tagalog term for "clear". It is said that during the 15th to 18th centuries, opposing parties used to convene inside the cave to settle disputes, thus, the name Calinawan.
This cave also served as a shelter and a hideaway from the Japanese during World War II. It was also in this cave where Japanese soldiers surrendered to the Liberation Forces.

Cave is my interpretation of Antony Gormley’s installation last year at the Royal Academy. The colossal Cave recreates a highly abstracted human form in 100 tons of overlapping sheet steel. This filled the show’s penultimate space with a dark maze of walk-through chambers, which required the strengthening of the gallery floor.
On Thursday I took a wander up to Corndon Tor on Dartmoor. This was the first time I'd visited this tor and the area looked gorgeous covered in Heather and Gorse.
About 50 yards or so up from the road sits Cave-Penney Cross. It's a memorial to Evelyn Anthony Cave-Penney, who was shot dead by an enemy sniper whilst leading his troops in Palestine on June 8th 1918.
Cave-Penney was a lieutenant in Queen Victoria’s Own Corps of Guides who can be argued were one of the most famous regiments of the Indian Army. He was only 19 when he was killed.
There is an inscription on the other side of the memorial that reads...
"TO THE GLORY OF GOD
AND TO THE DEAR MEMORY OF
EVELYN ANTHONY CAVE PENNEY
LIEUT. Q.V.O. CORPS OF GUIDES
FELL IN PALESTINE WHILST
GALLANTLY COMMANDING HIS MEN
JUNE 8TH 1918 AGED 19
LOOK UP AND LIFT UP YOUR HEADS"

The giant statues of Tirthankars were mostly created through rock carving in the 14th-15th century and were grossly defaced during the first assault of Mughals in the 16th century.
The caves are known as Siddhachal Caves or Siddhanchal Jain Collosi and are briiliant work of art.

The landscape photographer's version of a selfie. Enjoy the rare moment! This was one of the primary reason to visit Sedona and to think that I got to enjoy this all to myself. Not to take a selfie but to enjoy this impressive location. The hike was enjoyable as well. Did you notice how I framed a tall tree on the cliff opposite the cave opening?
Giant Chasm of Cabrespine. One of the largest caves in the world open to the public - 80 metres long and 220 metres high.
The Cumberland Gap includes this gem, the Gap Cave. Many may know it by its older name Cudjo's Caverns. It was once Gap cave but was chanced to Cudjo's Caverns after a popular book came out that features a cave called Cudjos. The owners tried to capitalize on the popularity by changing the name. When the NPS took over the site they changed it back. It hard to believe the cave looks as good as it does inside when you learn the past. Loads of tourists through here at a time when preservation was not understood, and they held parties and even plays down there!
This is one of the larger features in the cave. It was a pain to shoot because you were on a tour, so you can't stop, there is no lighting, only these massive bright flashlights that EVERYONE has, and the tour guide is always in the way. Oh, and no tripods allowed. So this is the result of several images to exclude beams of light and hot spots, and people. Oh, and thank goodness for the new lightroom denoise feature. This was 10,000 ISO for goodness sake. Came out pretty good considering all that nonsense.
Let me know what you think.
