Carlsbad Caverns, New Mexico - June 8, 2010

This was stop five, I think, on the Southwest adventure tour with Tom, Kathy, Wilson, Tofu, Reagan and myself. Carlsbad Cavern includes a large cave chamber, the Big Room, a natural limestone chamber which 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 eight largest in the world. Hard to imagine when you are down there, that this is only 5th. Kathy and I spent some time shooting the cave before the crazy speed demon kids showed up with Tofu and Grandpa. The tripods were a requirement for sure. I tried bracketing the images, but in the end the single darker images were my favorite. Shooting the family down there was as hard as I thought it would be. So was getting the boy to stay quite. Reverence? Not Wil. I think the whole cave listened to Wil sing songs from the Muppet's

Most Wanted film. Over, and over and over.....

This little Gothic style church is one of the oldest buildings in Carlsbad (although it has been moved) and dates to 1894.

Spacious hotel suite in Carlsbad! combines comfort and functionality, including high-speed Internet access. Fully equipped kitchen with refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker. iPod alarm clocking docking station in every suite.

(sadly, these are blurry and awful because I was stupidly refusing to go over 5000 ISO so the depth of field is too shallow and the shutter speed is too slow)
