This, my final contribution from this set of photos, is my attempt at an "artsy" shot. Other than being in a cave it doesn't have much to do with geology, but I like it and thought I'd share it. And yes, if anybody asks... it was completely deliberate! *Removes tongue from cheek.*

This rather dark photo shows another geologically interesting phenomenon. The thin pencil-like stalactites, termed straws, are actually hollow - with water dripping through them. One of these rather delicate structures (I hope it is obvious which), has become blocked and a "normal" stalactite has begun to form at its tip. It should be noted that although I use the phrase "One of..." above, that there are numerous occurrences of this phenomenon in the vicinity of the photographed example.
