Monks at an underground Buddhist shrine in Mrauk U, Myanmar. Koe Thaung temple is home to 90,000 Buddha images.
We already leave the Mahorčič Cave (at the foreground you can see the Reka river). We were there after visiting the Škocjan Caves and little walk along the Big Collapse Doline :)
The Mahorčič Cave (Mahorčičeva Jama) was named after a local explorer Josef Mahorčič who was also the mayor of Naklo. The cave sits directly below the Škocjan village, after which the entire cave system got its name and is also where the Reka River flows underground. The sunlight streaming into the cave makes for an absolutely scenic shot.
The Reka river is the widest known sinking stream of the Classical Karst area in Slovenia, and it has been studied since the Antiquity. This river formed the Škocjan Caves, long limestone cave system which comprises one of the world's largest known underground river canyons, which was proclaimed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1986.

Powoli docieramy do końca trasy w Jaskini Mahorčiča (w dole na pierwszym planie rzeka Reka). Poszliśmy tam po wyjściu z Jaskiń Szkocjańskich i przejściu szlakiem wzdłuż Wielkiego Zapadliska :)
Jaskinia Mahorčiča (Mahorčičeva Jama) została nazwana na cześć lokalnego odkrywcy i burmistrza miasta Naklo Josefa Mahorčič. Jaskinia znajduje się bezpośrednio pod wioską Škocjan, od której cały system jaskiń wziął swoją nazwę i jest miejscem, gdzie rzeka Reka wpływa do pod ziemię. Światło słoneczne wpadające do jaskini tworzy malownicze widoki.
Rzeka Reka jest najszerszym znanym ciekiem wodnym w obszarze Krasu Klasycznego w Słowenii i jest badana od czasów starożytnych. Rzeka ta utworzyła Jaskinie Škocjan, długi system jaskiń wapiennych, który obejmuje jeden z największych znanych na świecie podziemnych kanionów rzecznych, który został wpisany na Listę Światowego Dziedzictwa UNESCO w 1986 roku.
So far in this series we've been up mountains, to the beach and have seen sunsets. Nothing for it - we need to go underground!
Here's something you don't see everyday, an underground waterfall.
This is the wonderfully named Smoo Cave at Durness,
which is a unique geological feature in the UK as it was formed by both the action of the sea and by freshwater. The large outer cave was formed by the actions of the sea, and is in fact the largest sea-cave entrance in the UK. The inner chambers of the cave, including the waterfall chamber shown here were created by freshwater eroding permeable rocks.
The waterfall is the Allt Smoo falling into the cave through a hole in the cave roof. On my first visit to the cave the Allt Smoo was in spate due to heavy rain, and the spray that it kicked up was incredible - it soaked in seconds so there was no chance of photography.
It is an amazing place, well worth a visit if you are ever up that way!
Ok, not pretty, but hopefully interesting. The Carthage Caves in Missouri. I've been here twice before, now my third time. The first time was back in 2009, I'd only been driving for a few months, and frankly I was a little nervous, not knowing what to expect. They offer, for a fee to take your trailer in and out. That alone made me nervous, wondering how much space to maneuver around in, how difficult would it be backing into their docks with a full size truck and 53' trailer. Anyway, made it with only a couple of difficulties. Went the wrong way and had trouble turning around.
Anyway, second time went better, and last night, actually this morning about 0200, made it in, got unloaded, and out without a hitch.
Still trying to get to Wisconsin to get the new truck. All over Texas the past week, but now in Missouri and picking up a load tonight that I'll deliver near Minneapolis. That will put me where I need to be to get to our corporate headquarters in Mondovie Wisconsin.
Way behind on Flickr, always! I'm only 2 miles from my next pickup which isn't until 2100, so will post this and get to the fun stuff, seeing what everyone's been up to photography wise.
The following is info I got from Wikipedia. Apparently I wasn't supposed to take pictures... Oh well, nobody told me that, and I wasn't sneaking around. I noticed there are some videos drivers have taken inside the caves on YouTube. I haven't looked at them, but maybe later, but maybe not, I've been there, done that.
Also, I'm leaving a few links to other shots, all from inside. I know everyone's busy, so don't feel obligated.
The Carthage Underground is a collection of marblequarries in Carthage, Missouri, most of which is owned by Americold. Americold holds 43,000,000 square feet (4,000,000 m2) of the quarry, much of which is occupied by warehouses or factories, primarily for food production. The total area of the underground is difficult to trace, but is rumored to stretch as far as Joplin, Missouri (roughly 20 miles (30 km) from Carthage). It is frequently visited by urban explorers due to the decrepit abandoned quarries mixed seamlessly with working underground factories and warehouses. Many of the local industries rely heavily upon the facilities to store foodstuffs there. It is also oddly present with an ecosystem of its own, with underground lakes hosting turtles, fish and various other species. This could be seen as remarkable given that the quarries were utterly devoid of life before the mining industry.
The temperature of the underground is frequently quoted as 60 °F (16 °C) year round, though artificial refrigeration has altered the temperature to a range of -30 to 100 °F (38 °C).
The underground is also host to an underground motel, as well as having been rumored the site of government bunkers, though this has never been substantiated.
Urban explorers should be extremely cautious exploring the undergrounds—the great amount of them are uninhabited and/or flooded, and wildlife is not rare there. Americold has a policy against photographs. Unauthorized trespassing in their share of the underground can result in criminal prosecution, and the mostly uncharted abandoned areas are dangerous at best.
