a moment of beauty

[anotheranon]

A cenote - a sacrificial underground lake used by the Mayans. The photographer was lucky enough to be there the one day of the year where a tiny beam of light from the surface aligns perfectly with the tip of one of the stalactites - amazing :)

Taken from the Mysterious Places website, which also includes photo essays of Easter Island and Stonehenge.

Anyone have any favorite "mysterious" places, or ones they'd like to visit? I'd like to see Stonehenge one day, along with Oak Island (It IS in Canada, jlsjlsjls!) and Rosslyn Chapel (warning, site has music with no "off" button).

Lascaux rewind!

Aha! Just found this (http://www.culture.gouv.fr/culture/arcnat/lascaux/en/infoprat.htm). And evidently it's old news; the reproduction has been available since 1983 (http://www.culture.gouv.fr/culture/arcnat/lascaux/en/lascaux2.htm) [blush]!
