Wow this is incredible! So vast and majestic. I love the scale and the light from above is spellbinding. If youve ever seen the second Matrix movie, it reminds me of the underground city Zion. heh, Another copied concept I see. Sorry not a big fan of that flick. Anyway, congrats on an excellent picture!

Beautiful photo you captured. The bright light invading the darkness of this cavern is incredible. The soft touches of inner light with its warm yellows and orangish reds glow....the dark interior lends a mystery to this place. Interesting piece, especially with the light shining on the group of individuals standing near the steps.

Where is this place? Is it a cave? The light coming from top is very dramatic. Also details can be seen clearly

Thanks for your comment. I took the photo in Batu Cave, Malaysia. The caves were discovered by the American explorer William Hornaby in 1881 but have since become associated with the celebration of Thaipusam, a three day religious festival during January/February. Thousands of devotees flock to the caves during the festival to pay penance and undergo rites of self-flagellation that are fascinating to observe. The largest of the caves, Temple Cave is reached by climbing 272 steps to its entrance from which a path leads to Museum Cave

Absolutely awesome picture! Reminds me of the time when we visited Ruby Falls in Tennessee, though this looks a lot more spectacular!

A mini-tour, as well? Thank you!

I really love the light streaming through the cavern's ceiling in this photo. As to what this picture is of, I don't know. You should include something about the location in your artist's notes.

Looks like a wonderful future of an Australian Olympic Moment, but fear that the Greek Olympic moment may not be as good as they can't even build.

This is a great photo. That light streaming down is fantastic. It looks like a sign from above. Where was it taken and what are all the people doing.

Oh, this is my type of thing. I love going through caverns and checking out rock formations and such. This photo shows the vastness of this hall and the lighting is perfect especially the suns rays shining through the roof.
Only one thing: Please PM me and let me know where this was taken at. I would love to go sometime. It's been about 9 years since I've been to any.
