Allegory of the Cave

    I know the title I have used is not quite original, but the way I cropped this photo reminded me of Plato's literary work of the exact title. It's good reading by the way, and highly recommend it.

      Wow I just simply love this especially the opening up at the top where you can see the sky.

      Great patterns.

      Wow, great exposure? Is this HDR or simply great use of flash/reflected light? Nice work, regardless.

      Outdoorsie - HDR was a thought as I took several exposures, but this is the effect of reflected light and a bit of PS.

      This reminds me of of Arches National Park that I just revisited. Of Course further South...Canyon land etc ...

      Wow.. This is beautiful! It has the same feeling as when you're looking out of an airplane window but better.

      Love this image - it reminds me of some parts of Utah that I've hiked in. There's nothing quite like the smooth sandstone and that reflection of the clouds in the sky.
