Description

Caves, Cameras and CreativityDeep in the heart of East Gippsland, Victoria, Australia, lies the tiny village of Buchan. Set in the most beautiful, rolling hilly countryside, Buchan has one huge claim to fame - it is the site of some magnificent subterranean limestone caverns, rather prosaically known as the Buchan Caves. http://www.visitvictoria.com/Regions/Gippsland/Things-to-do/Nature-and-wildlife/National-parks-and-reserves/Buchan-Caves Naturally, I had to try to take some photographs while touring through these underground marvels with their stalactites (c- ceiling) and stalagmites (g - ground) and the fabulous hanging curtains of limestone deposits which have built up over millennia from water slowly percolating from the surface into these hidden river courses. I shot about 80 frames during the tours, and the first two images below gives you the idea. Unfortunately, these are just about the only shots that are worth posting in terms of conventional images.
