WOW! You are right to be afraid... those steps are very steep.

The reason I picked this photo is because it makes me feel like I'm looking into a huge cave, and something could be waiting for me just around the corner - ready to pounce and tear me apart. Sorry if I scared you! :)

To be honest, there's nothing there. It just sounded like a nice title under the theme description.

Is this by any chance the Duomo in Florence, Italy? I have a very similar picture from trip in 1994.


Exactly! Good memory!!

Sort of. It's disorienting, as though you're looking down... Definitely a 7, if only for making me dizzy.

Looks like Mammoth Cave. Wish the lights weren't so blown out.

Two mirrors.
Would have benefitted from being shot in the dark, with your own lighting brought in, methinks.
Nice idea though...
