Looking At An Underground Realm

 The cave inside the Earth Gallery is quite an experience.


I departed from the gallery en route to the next one, stopping along the way to photograph in the Queens Lantern, in regards to the history of the building. The Lantern replaced the original stone tower, which had been found to be unstable and had been required to be removed.


A look up again at the Moon.


There are stories of hauntings in the building.


I end today with this shot looking down from this level inside the Lantern, where the staircases cross each other in interesting ways.

    I would love to explore the cave, thank you for sharing. The last pic... uh-oh.... I feel very "haunted" by my fear of heights.

    Looks a bit spooky down there, your cave photos are very atmospheric. Super exhibition!

    If I was a Canadian ghost that is where I would want to hang. William. Aloha

    That cave looks good. And after all the Cave of Lascaux in France, that you be visited, is also no more than a replica of the real cave.

      I imagine the real cave is too delicate to allow for visitors.

    I don't mind caves but tunnels give me the creeps.
