"A Dark Place:" This is the interior of a mine that is pitch-dark. I have some other images where I used some off-camera lighting to better see some of the details in the rocks, but I decided to do a deliberately dark, low-key shot with only a handheld flashlight a ways down the tracks, just to emphasize how dark it was inside. Also, if you can see on the ground, especially in the middle of the tracks, it is a bit flooded, and I decided to use that to my advantage in the camera and get some reflections of whatever rocks in the ceiling level and walls were being illuminated by the flashlight. Hopefully this image conveys how dark and wet it was. It wasn't silent; I could hear water dripping from near and far in almost a Chinese water torture fashion, but to me it wasn't torturous. Each drop echoed and seemed amplified by the narrow, rocky corridor, and somehow gave a momentum to an otherwise stagnant, lifeless scene.
