Wieliczka Salt Mine

Damn the dingy!

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.

Beautiful but very eerie -- can't help thinking of all the miners working down there.

Congratulations on a superbly exposed shot.
