To recap, on 25 Oct. 2024, I joined a small caving party to explore a world famous cave system, situated in Mulu, Sarawak, Borneo; with an excellent guide from Sarawak's last remaining nomadic tribe, the Penan.

 

However, after an initial visit to Deer Cave and the exploration schedule, to prepare better, we first decided to visit the Borneo Cultures Museum, and Bako National Park, at nearby Kuching, the capital of Sarawak: Malaysia's northern most State, and next to Sabah, home of the giant apes (the orangutans).

 

But with this shot , the photo series on this unusual journey kicks off with the entry point to the first of the four amazing caves involved: The Deer Cave

 

Deer Cave was named thus by local tribes, because of deer being there a lot to suck salt from bat guano.

 

The four caves were seen over 2 days:

Day 1: Deer Cave & Lang Cave

Day 2: Wind Cave & Clearwater Cave

 

To recap more: these caves are a key part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

 

Deer Cave is over 2 km long and has the world's largest cave passage. The main chamber is 174m /571 feet wide, and 122m / 400 feet, high.

 

The four caves are accessed by boardwalks, and rock and wooden stairs, built by Sarawak State Government.

 

The Sarawak limestone mountain range is honeycombed with underground caverns and rivers (the latter best seen at Clearwater Cave), giving rise to the world's most extensive cave systems.

 

In the mini series following we focus only on Deer Cave as the most attractive cave to display in photo form, with the series concluding with the an exit photo of some reputed two million bats, which live in the caves (but hard to see sleeping during the day), flying out of Deer Cave at dusk tp search for insects to eat.

That time of year is coming round again for Jonathans check up..

I take photos to keep my mind engaged :)

NASA's Orbit Pavilion at The Huntington in San Marino, California. The structure is an interpretive soundscape that emits sounds as the International Space Station and 19 Earth satellites pass overhead, each sound representing the mission of that particular satellite. I dreamed up the title as I looked at the photo today, with two people literally "entering Orbit."

...I wouldn't think of it!

Here is another of my attempts to capture an Emperor Dragonfly in flight above a moorland pool in the Peak District near Holmfirth. I used a faster shutter speed (1/6400) to freeze the wings and a narrower aperture (f8) to get the abdomen more in focus. I particularly liked this one as the venation on all four wings is visible, and He was facing me. Fortunately Emperors have a habit of hovering for a second or two, which gives you a chance to take aim and fire. The background is the surface of the pool and those smudges are floating Potomageton (pondweed) leaves.

Cannot see my destination,

Yet still I walk ahead,

Never go where you cannot see,

Is what they always said.

 

Still I walk forward,

In hopes that my fears will dim,

Silently I'm praying,

That ahead won't be grim.

 

Headed in the direction,

I enter the mist,

When all of this is over,

I pray I still exist.
