absolutely stunning place. i've seen a lot of caves but this one was by far the most awesome one with endless halls after halls full of stalactites and stalagmites, one more impressive than the last.

Paul Manship's highly recognizable bronze gilded statue of the Greek legend of the Titan Prometheus recumbent, bringing fire to mankind, features prominently in the sunken plaza at the front of 30 Rockefeller Plaza. The model for Prometheus was Leonardo (Leon) Nole, and the inscription from Aeschylus, on the granite wall behind, reads: "Prometheus, teacher in every art, brought the fire that hath proved to mortals a means to mighty ends." Although some sources cite it as the fourth-most familiar statue in the United States, behind the Lincoln Memorial, Mount Rushmore and the Statue of Liberty, Manship was not particularly fond or proud of it.
Completed in 1934, the Prometheus Fountain, in Rockefeller Center, was sculpted by Paul Manship, . In Greek mythology, Prometheus brought fire to man. Here, it symbolizes, among other things, the vital forces present in the midst of the city.

So this picture transformed from an "idea" to a "how can I salvage this in any way so that the last hour outside setting up lights and being confused for a buffet by anything with wings wasn't a complete waste of my time." I don't even remember what I was trying to do in the first place. I'm too tired to care at this point.
The only thing that I'm kinda-sorta happy with is the way the thumbnail turned out.

Saturn's moon Prometheus, imaged by Voyager 2 on August 25, 1981. In this image it appears against the backdrop of the planet's clouds and A-ring (outermost ring). The A-ring's Encke Gap runs through the center of the image; the Cassini Gap is visible in the top left corner. Prometheus is a small irregular moon that orbits between Saturn's A and F rings. The moon acts as a shepherd to F-ring material, and is responsible for the braided appearance of that ring.
This image was produced using a green/violet image pair. The red channel is extrapolated by differencing the two color imaging sequence.

In Greek mythology, Prometheus (Ancient Greek: Προμηθεύς, "forethought")[1] is a Titan known for his wily intelligence, who stole fire from Zeus and gave it to mortals for their use.[2] Zeus then punished him for his crime by having him bound to a rock while an eagle ate his liver every day only to have it grow back to be eaten again the next day. His myth has been treated by a number of ancient sources, in which Prometheus is credited with (or blamed for) playing a pivotal role in the early history of humankind.
