I'm trying to imagine an underground lake. My brother-in-law is a "caver" in West Virginia and has explored many interesting caves there (of course he was a geology student at university). I admire those who are willing to go down in these mysterious places to find treasures seen by the very few. Alas, I am not sure I would be up to it, as you say, it seems a bit scary. Anyway, I look forward to hearing of your progress and to the day when those problems are all behind you.

In Namibia you can find many holes and as a quite small child my dad brought us my brother and me to the Dragon's Breath Hole in the Otavi Mountains near Grootfontein.In this hole you find the biggest subterrean lake in the world. The name is related to the fact that from time to time the hole blows off steam like dragons in a fairy tale. Today I would not be able to go down but as a child you feel it's scaring and wonderful all in one. And my brother is still today exploring holes.I hope to be able to comment your nice pics from time to time . Still many problems to overcome but the sky is blue , I'm reading a lot and in this way can escape from the daily sorrows.All your last posts are very beautiful.<br />TessAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6158641455640376104.post-9056419320003753122014-06-12T08:28:58.105+02:002014-06-12T08:28:58.105+02:00It looks so beautiful with the roses.
