We travelled underground to visit the Blanchard Spring Caverns in the Ozark mountains. These were huge caves with some massive natural formations of rock, stalactites and stalagmites.
Doesn't this remind you of a battleship?
A curtain of mineral formation....
A massive column formed by stalactites and stalagmites meeting each other....
Looks like a mysterious entrance to another world....
An Opera House?
The lighting in the caves was designed by Miroslave Pflug, a native of Czechoslovakia who also designed the lighting at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, the Kennedy Center in Washington DC and several European theaters. Apparently, the following formation looked like an opera balcony to the designer - sounded wierd at first but the end result is truly amazing.
