Formation inside Mitchell Caverns.

Since the displacement of shadows depends upon the location of the lighting,
and I don't remember where the lights were in each case, I am unsure
 if this or the following images are oriented correctly.  All were made
with slow exposures without a flash.  (I had neglected to bring along my
digital camera with flash, which would have enabled images of larger
formations than these.)
