don't let the sun shine down on me - a photo on Flickriver

After a manic 3 weeks at work it was time to kick back and have a laugh…mainly at the expense of Jimbo today, who, combined with a terrible weak bladder and the courage from a character from a Wizard of Oz story made the 5 odd hours getting lost under Wiltshire just about bearable!
Box Mine…or Quarry..however you want to call it..never fails to impress..for those that have never been you cannot imagine the size and scale of the place ! First stop Cathedral…were we found some religious types singing! That hole in the ground is huge…

Then after many many metres of wandering about looking at the map, the compass, cursing Jim, we finally found a point of reference…only to get terrible lost again!

The cranes eluded me for the fourth visit! Nearly got poisoned by Radon Gas, allegedly there were some Ninja Pirates guarding the door to Burlington Bunker..

Good day underground..hell yes..even if we did nearly have to carry Jim out !

Shot on a Nikon D7100 with a Sigma 10-20mm lens.

Lighting by a LED Lenser X21, P7 and H7

Gear carried in a Lowepro 45L AW
