There should be a law against posting pics like these before a work day. Thanks for sharing.

Agreed! Lock that man up! I'm sitting here drooling like a fat kid at a chocolate cake buffet!
Hello, I'm Shirley, and it's been 4 days since my last cave fix. I can't think of anything else. I'd sell your mother for another hit of cave.

Those are some very nice shots in Hole's downstream, that cave is often dark and the vis can make it tough to get great pics. The ceiling in that area is spectacular. And the two in Maunds are something you don't see everyday. Think you need to enter the next Dive Rite photo contest buddy.

Thanks guys and gals. Sounds like you enjoy looking at them as much as I did taking them.
As I've told you before, I love that last picture. It has such a wonderful, meditative quality to it . . . the graceful diver, the peaceful place, but the brooding and massive quality of the timeless walls. It's just a wonderful photograph about why we do this.

Thanks.

Wish you hadn't put the Hole pictures up. Here I was enjoying my life and then BAM, there's my favorite cave in living color...without me IN IT!!!!
Beautiful work in a beautiful environment.

Ooooo, yep, the lamp just became a body surfing pig.

Here's a few more recent shots. I had a couple of others to add but I forgot the cave was just over the county line, so I'll have to save them for later :)

Ben I see the new toys Jimmy was telling me about made quite a difference,,,truly awesome shots, just awesome....Looks like the green lantern turned a shade of orange, is this what happens when he gets embarrassed?
PS...Jimmy the orange suit looks better in photo's

That is the correct location. You'll have to ask Jim about the suit. I couldn't say......

When it's clear, Hole-in-the-wall is just special, ain't it?

Which cave is this? It reminds me of a place we have in Missouri...

I am pretty sure it is Hole in the Wall. It does look a little like Canon Ball.

That's what it reminded me of. A little. Smaller scale. Better vis.
Tom
PS, I've been corrected before about "Canon Ball" vs. "Cannonball". "Cannonball" is a beautiful cave in Southern Missouri. A "Canon Ball" is a wadded up pamphlet of scripture that Jehovah's Witnesses throw through your door before you manage to slam it shut.

I have seen it spelled both ways, by people that live in the area :smt102
