Crystal Palace

A crystal palace ceiling made of stalactites and straws. Spectacular.

Happy Leap Day

These unique dog tooth crystals in the Ngilgi Caves near Yalingup were formed when the pool underneath the stalactites filled with super saturated calcium carbonate solution. The stalactites stopped growing and crystals seeded on them underwater, then the water has since drained.

Stalactites

These small stalactite formations were found inside one low chamber in the cave we ventured into. Unfortunately, the humidity in the cave was very high and the camera lens was subject to fogging. Consequently, the photos are not as clear as they could be. Next time I shall take a lens warmer of some form to help keep the camera warm and prevent condensation.
