Wieliczka salt mines about 160m underground. The exposure was 20 seconds while the lights were going on and off so it was really hard to compose once I first got there in the dark not knowing what was about to happen. I think I'm going to ener this one to the contest.
Oh yeah, I took this shot without a tripod. People kept leaning against the railing that I was taking the photo on.
This photo was taken on September 5, 2006 in Wieliczka County, Lesser Poland, PL, using a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT.

Beautiful but very eerie -- can't help thinking of all the miners working down there.
Congratulations on a superbly exposed shot.
