Random Shots: August 2005

Beautiful landscapes along the way...

Rain coats at 3 Swiss francs can be bought from the store outside the caves for occasions such as this when the rain pours.

Mineral formations from different countries are on display at the end of the hour long trek within the caves. This is from India.

Waters running at great speeds create foamy white waves as it crashes on the stones found in the massive Vallorbe caves in the canton of Vaud in Switzerland.

Clear waters...

Greenish water of underground river.

Slew of stalactites and stalagmites.

In the "Cathedral" (I think) inside the Vallorbe caves.

Stalactites (growing down from the ceiling) and stalagmites (growing up from the floor) form from certain chemical processes induced by erosion. Inside the Vallorbe caves, many such structures awe the visitors.

White waters of the Orbe River that flow under the Vallorbe caves. The Orbe River is the largest underground river in Central Europe.

One of three of Christopher's catch.

One for Mama too.
