Description
Flooded underground passageway, Fort Gaines, on Dauphin Island, Alabama.
This historic old masonry (brick) fort was built in the 1820s to guard the entrance leading into Mobile Bay.
The night before this photo was taken it rained and rained and rained some more. Evidence is right here:) Lucky for us 98% of the rest of the fort was high and dry.

beautifully taken
Superb capture Bill. God bless.
Most excellent
What's amazing to me, looking at this picture, is that we have no sense at all of the depth of the water on the floor. It couldn't have been more than a couple inches, but the reflections are so perfect they totally block what's below. Outstanding image!
Excellent capture, you are seeing some great places.x
A super capture and perspective Bill!!
Wonderful! A big tunnel-shot, with beautiful deep browns and reds, beautiful brick details, and that wonderful water on the bottom, transforming and re-painting the top. The light bands are wonderful, as is that patch of white light in the back---a perfect accent against the door. In fact, you got a perfect abstract out of this, and (tara points out), there's no way of knowing that the water is 'shallow': In this shot, it could be way, way deep. Beautiful capture, with real depth and perspective, and a tunneled beauty. Really fine-tuned seeing!
Excellent light and shadow control Bill, nice one.
Some wonderful brickwork Bill.
Oh, MY! What a change from your 2 previous photos! This could be a corridor to hell deep inside the earth. WHat makes this so fascinating is the mirror effect in the water giving a false impression of great depth and the illusion of a rounded bottom. The dark door at the end seems both beckoning and foreboding. How deep was the water - 1 inch? The more shallow, the better the mirror effect. Keep up the good work! Another surprise photo next? :-)
Absolutely fab! What a wonderful photo, Bill!
Brilliant work mate.
totally stunning photo Bill! the illusion is perfect
Good shot !!
great shot
AMAZING WORK!
Well now, that is one impressive photo of what reminded me immediately of a vampire nest. Eerie is what comes to mind, along with the fabulous ambience of perspective, dreary and cool contrast in this image, Bill. Anyone got a torch and hip boots?
Awesome shot Bill!
A place for a movie. Great shot
Wow! Brilliant capture of this beautiful scene--a photographer's dream! Well done!
most inviting ......photographically! well done, Bill!
Very nice capture Bill.
This would have been a great shot without the water, but with it, it's awesome! What a fantastic effect - wicked cool shot, Bill!
Your work is growing better and better. Excellent.
