Thanks Joan, Alexis and Bambi for your comments. The Chinese didn't spare the electricity when lighting this cave. It was possible to shoot some of the formations (not this one though) without a tripod! Amazing cave and superbly lit. #4664400

Peter, To begin with I did not recognize the tourist until you mentioned them. Just another formation. But the one taking the photograph could put this in the monthly (uniquely). Personally I think this is a most awesome capture with the illumination, formation, reflections and presentation. A fantastic capture. None the less sometime tourist are a pest to photographers. #4669899

Thanks Emile. You do have to look for the photographer in the image. I do have a few other of this wonderful spot but without the tourists. They can be a pain at times. The reflections are so good that it is hard to work out which way round a print is. #4670013
