Challenge: #Underneath!
Far below the surface, the silence embraces you.
The light and shadows, are like the stone.

A greyscale photo of an underground scene. I have a bright light source pointing into the cave ahead of me. I am silhouetted strongly by the light just right of center. The rock wall in front of me is brightly lit. Ahead where the light is pointed, and to my left is a rubble pile of stone, with strong shadows behind it. Above the pile, the stone roof of the cave is seen, and can be followed toward the top of the image. The foreground is very dimly lit by another light source somewhere behind to the far right.

For #RockinTuesday I'm returning to my stash of #cave photos! Here's part of a massive lava tube with a bonus permanent ice deposit at the bottom (not featured). Skull Ice Cave!

At this point the railing is freezing to touch.
A black and white photo of a view deep inside a complex landscape inside a huge lava tube. In the immediate foreground is part of a system of metal railings, platforms, and ladders, enabling visitors to safely descend into the cave. To the railing's right is an exposure of solid lava rock that rapidly descend out of sight. The area above the rock is unlit by the hand light, and is pitch black. The rest of the area visible by the lamp light is a circular lit area that occupies much of the middle, and left side of the photo. The system of metal railings and ladders is seen to turn to gain access to a gaping pit in the floor, which a metal stairway drops through. More rock wall can be seen as it descends viewed through the pit. The far side of the pit is a narrow ledge of rock that looks like a bridge between the pit and another circular opening in the cave that reveals blackness beyond.
