 Underground stone mine, a cool place to be (it even gets misty, and water drips from the ceiling). The stone is an important feature of local architecture, and Frank Lloyd Wright used it in some of his buildings. There are some sculptural installations in it, and it has been used for concerts and church services (weddings, I guess).

Converted from RAW, levels and contrast, fill flash to make it brighter, resized and USM applied.

I'm sorry, I was looking back at my comments made and saw that somehow I left a blank space here. I don't know how that happened, I do remember making a comment on this photo.

Mostly I was curious what the location was. It looks like an interesting place. I see now that it is a mine.

Good use of the rule of thirds. I think those blue shafts of light make the natural focal point.
