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.

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!

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? :-)

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?
