It would be a good idea to bring a good light in order to take interior photos. You were fortunate to have been able to go indeed. The photo captures the sense of age and hidden mysteries. Thanks, Viv. I want to go and wander the caves as well as quietly drift along the shores with camera in hand. It would be a good idea to bring a good light in order to take interior photos.

The lake here is quite shallow and is actually an artifical lake, made by blocking entry and exit of the stream that has cut the groove through the landscape over millenia. The caves are wonderful too, cool on a hot day and with a feeling of intense peace. I guess it's been a safe haven for people for tens of thousands of years; maybe this is why it looks and feels serene. Thank you for your kind comments!

This is so serene, <b>so</b> serene. I kind of have a fear of large bodies of water; sometimes images of them can rattle me (yes, even crisp beach scenes like <a href="http://www.south-seas-adventures.com/Gallery/South_Pacific_Beaches_1/images/beaches1_JGutekunst_024.jpg" rel="nofollow">this one</a>). But this picture sure doesn't have the same effect. I especially like the way the water looks to be calm in some places but rippling in others. I also like how the foliage and land' reflection appears to be its own concoction--as in, the reflection isn't just the "mirror image" of the land. Oh wow. This is so serene, so serene.

It's worth it, but having done the "real tour" well, that's even better. Another bit of history: the place where I live is the oldest known site of human habitation in the whole of Northern Europe. About two years back they found stone tools and animal bones dating from 700,000 years ago, the time of homo erectus or heidlebergensis, at the south end of the town, in the district of Pakefield. Every time I walk the beaches here, I look out for more... What a shame, Shelley. It’s worth it, but having done the “real tour” well, that’s even better.

I tried to take a look at their website's virtual tour, but I don't think I have the right things loaded on my computer to see the images. Oh well...I will try again when I have more patience :) Thanks for sharing this Viv! This sounds very cool!
