I love it, love it! There is something so magical about nature's art, about slices of colours and inimaginable textures, bravo for the find :)

Stunningly beautiful colours Richard, I had heard that it was an amazing place, from my mother who visited there years ago. Looking at this she wasn't wrong. I have a couple of pieces of Blue John, lurking about somewhere, I'll have to have a look for them :)

Everything is natural, the light and the natural rock formations, natural colors, a stunning place to be. I assume this was with a guided tour of some sort ? Super shot.
