A glimpse of the world below

Exploring a stalactite cave. Looking from the pitch dark into a brightly lit rhomboid shaped recess where countless tiny yellow stone cones hang from the ceiling and flow down along the walls, looking like frozen dripping of a dense fluid.

It was cold during the dog walk, I spotted some stalactites over the river and I managed to take a nice photo :)

Stalactites on a dead stick over a river with running water. The light outline the stalactites nicely.
The "Wedding Cake" speleothem formation in the Alexandra Cave, Naracoorte.

Stalagmites stand mightily, stalactites hang tightly.

The Postojna cave. Europe’s largest with beautiful formations all kinds of colors.. These caves are millions of years old. It takes 100 years to build 3 cm of a stalactite. #cave #europetravel #cavephotography📸 #stalactite

The Lurgrotte near Semriach, Steiermark, Austria.
Its a cavern with stalactites and stalagmites.

Not the best pictures, but you have to keep up with the guide and there are usually big groups, so less time to get the best shots.

Growing stalactites, Grotta del Vento, Apuan Alps Park. Absolutely spectacular caves to visit. The road there is spectacular too - and slightly hair raising! It is set within the Upper Triassic Grezzoni Formation.

Thin stalactites with tiny water droplets are hanging down against a background of brown, iron-stained rock. The stalactites look like melted candlewax from a very large candle.

#stalactite is not necessarily a speleothem, though speleothems are the most common form of stalactite because of the abundance of limestone caves

Stalactites in Tytyri limestone mine in Lohja, Finland. The mine has been in operation over hundred years and it should continue to be so until the 22nd century. There is a museum located 100 meters from the surface. The mining is going on in the depth of 370 meters. Sometimes you can hear the eerie rumbling sounds of the machines echoing through the tunnels. Other than that, the silence is surreal. You can feel that your are somewhere deep.
