So, caves. Sorta ridiculously frightening and amazing at the same time. They just found the world's biggest in Vietnam:

Also after you walked about a kilometre underground you come to a concert hall with a piano in it.http://www.cabildodelanzarote.com/Uploads/img/20070213104105164.jpgIt's awesome.

I went caving a lot in college (Indiana, Buckner Caves) and would spend whole days down there with friends. I really enjoyed it.

Watch out behind you - o man, that movie is so awesome. I watch a lot of scary movies, so I have generally been desensitized to them (I actually wish I were scared more than I am) The Descent genuinely gave me the creeps. Not recommended for anyone with claustrophobia.

It's pretty obvious here, but at Blanchard Springs Caverns located about two hours north of here, they always spotlight this feature and ask, "Do you see the ship?" And about half of the tour group always looks around and goes "The fuck is she talking about?"

This is another of the first cave in Vietnam. Look closely and you can see a guy towards the back. It really gives you a sense of how big it is!

One of my pet peeves is that every cave which is also a tourist destination is illuminated in completely garish colors. What's wrong with a soft, incandescent yellow or white?

From: http://www.behance.net/samebody/frame/6439573
Natalie Avseenko and PHOTOTEAM.PRO undertook a new art-project in Ordynskaya Cave next to Perm city, Russia. Natalie had series of freediving session inside one of the largest gypsum caves. There was dark and cold (the water temperature was around +5C, the outside temperature was -35C), there was no chance to get to the surface and took a breath, there was roof above her all the time. Natalie, holding her breath and overcoming all the challenges she faced with, acted as the spirit of the cave who was kind, with big soul, caring... There is a legend that there is a Lady of the Cave who is very beautiful and charming. The lady is taking care of all the divers entering that incredible "natural cathedral". So, Natalie, literally speaking, had to settle down in the cave and she managed to do that.
