#13 of 30: "Into the Deep"

"Into the Deep" - Ninh Binh Cave, Vietnam
- Acrylic on Canvas, approx. 10.6x8.7"/27x22cm
Still working on the 30 paintings in 30 days. Here's #13: Ninh Binh Cave.

This was the first cavern I've been in where I still wanted to stay when it came time to leave! If I could have spent the whole day there, I would have. I felt like I was in some "Lord of the Rings" environment. The most amazing thing--and I still hope to capture this--was looking out toward the massive opening. The natural light coming into the cavern gave it more mystery than any garishly colored glow cast up on the walls. Just as we were reluctantly heading out, I turned and took this picture, looking back in.
