Very interesting image JD . The colors and textures of the wooden structures look original and not too strong. I Especially enjoyed the history about it. Personally under-ground is not for me , but I do enjoy viewing the images ! Michele~
Thank you, Luisa, for your comment. Just after I took this pic. the guide turned off his head torch and asked us to do the same... there was some very frightened people down there.. Regards JD
