After Christmas Pictures

Promised some more pictures (click any image for larger version), and this seems to be the right time to deliver :-)

This first image shows a feature at the Natural Bridge Caverns just north of San Antonio, TX called "Sherwood Forest". The guide told us the name came from the resemblence of the rock to trees with canopys and trunks.




The next image is a detail of one area of the "forest". I have a shot from a couple years before this of the same feature where the muddy area in front had actually been a lake due to heavy rains preceding that visit. Hopefully I'll get a chance to post that one as well.




Final image in this collection shows some rock "eggs" which are being formed by the water depositing different chemicals at different places. I love the way the rock itself looks like it's still flowing here.




All pictures were taken using a Minolta Dimage 7 with natural lighting (hence the "noise" from shooting at a virtual ASA 800).

Comments via email are always appreciated :-)
