Carlsbad Caverns National Park is a United States National Park in the Guadalupe Mountains in southeastern New Mexico. The primary attraction of the park is the show cave, Carlsbad Cavern. Carlsbad Caverns National Park is open every day of the year except Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day. Visitors to the cave can hike in on their own via the natural entrance or take an elevator from the visitor center.
The park entrance is located on US Highway 62/180, approximately 18 miles (29 km) southwest of Carlsbad, New Mexico. Carlsbad Caverns National Park participates in the Junior Ranger Program. The park has two entries on the National Register of Historic Places: The Caverns Historic District and the Rattlesnake Springs Historic District. Approximately two thirds of the park has been set aside as a wilderness area, helping to ensure no future changes will be made to the habitat.
Carlsbad Cavern includes a large cave chamber, the Big Room, a natural limestone chamber that is almost 4,000 feet (1,220 m) long, 625 feet (191 m) wide, and 255 feet (78 m) high at the highest point. It is the fifth largest chamber in North America and the twenty-eighth largest in the world. The largest chamber in the world is the Sarawak Chamber in Malaysia.

During our Christmas trip this year we visited the ocean in Carlsbad, California with hopes to see a tide pool at low tide. Here is a shot from on top of the cliffs overlooking the beach below.

The Flower Fields is a flower garden found on the Carlsbad Ranch in Carlsbad, California. It opens up once a year in spring.
On the way back from Texas last year I stopped off at Carlsbad Caverns and played tourist. This is a spot that had been on my To Do list for years. The cavern is indeed grand and the formations are spectacular, but I found it hard to photograph. Most shot are just too noisy, shooting at the needed high ISO to get an exposure.
To save time, we took the elevator route in and out.
Karlovy Vary is a famous spa town in the western Bohemian region of the Czech Republic. It has an ancient history dating back to the bronce age and is famous for its hot springs. The city has been used as a location for the 2006 James Bond film Casino Royale. The old city with its amazing architecture is situated in the valley of the Teplá river, just before it joins the Ohře river (Eger).
The image has undergone some editing with the help of Photoshop and Lightroom. Here is a link to the unmodified original (jpeg exported from the unmodified camera-raw file):
