Cave fish time!!

Cryptotora thamicola or the waterfall climbing cave fish are extremely rare, found in only eight caves on the border of Thailand and Myanmar. Like most cave fish they are blind and pigmentless but what makes them special is there ability to cling to walls and climb up flowing water.

A couple formations from Animal Farm Cave. This cave had poles all over the place, which I had never seen before. It was an extremely well decorated cave, and, once into the main area, was mostly walking. It felt like being in a long-abandoned temple. It's one of the most magical places I have ever been.

Brian Masney: Neversink Pit in Alabama.

[gay-milton-quotes]

true crime girlies should leave their serial killers behind & join me in my fascination with caving accidents.

you get all the tragic intrigue of a real-world case. but instead of eroticizing some dumpy misogynist, there is only The Cave: an uncaring, nonliving, ancient formation, whose victims enter willingly. Instead of dying by random acts of cruelty, victims of The Cave know they are one slip, one oversight, one false breath from a shattered pelvis. They know it is dark and cold and tight. They know the thing that swallows them is neither cruel nor benevolent. It carries no intention. The rivers wind in three dimensions. Flash floods threaten to close off the entrance. But they keep walking. They keep searching, deep in The Cave, for only the pleasure of searching. And you, the viewer, knowing how this ends, knowing death awaits these victims, you keep watching, breath baited by the same morbid curiosity that drew these victims here, crushed their ribcages, pinned their bodies forever in the dark.

Now THAT is something to eroticize.

I was packing up my nonfiction and thought I’d take a picture of all the caving books I currently own.

Cave in Idaho

Once again, the Caverns of Sonora are just on a different level of beautiful. It looks like a magical underwater cave. Like if I was mermaid, I'd want to live here.
