A Mammoth Aperture
Carlsbad Caverns is one of those off-beat National Parks that get visited only by a determined few. For me, the biggest draw has been descending to the depths of the cavern through the natural entrance. While it was still a sanitized caving experience, I still enjoyed the change in scenery as I dropped below the ground level. The humidity and temperature fluctuations led to water vapor getting caught in various pockets of the cave, lending an eerie atmosphere which I tried to capture here.
