This is two photos actually, I wanted to get some detail from inside the "cave" (it was really a tunnel) so I had to expose for that and then expose for the outside.
The thing was sort of scary, I didn't like being in there much at all. I didn't want it to collapse on me and me die a horrible death of crushed body parts and hypothermia. I got my camera attached to my tripod, ran in, set up, took two photos and booked it out of there, not even letting my "model" John strike a pose.
The "cave" is on Mt Hood, the mountains in the distance are Mt. Adams on the right and Rainier on the left.

10 commentsI understand your discomfort with ice caves. I watched a friend back his kayak into one in an iceberg. He got a dynamite photo, but the moment after he paddled out the iceberg rolled over and submerged the cave. That great, huge monster didn't make a sound doing it either. My friend insists that his spray skirt was off, and therefore his pants got wet from water dripping off the paddle.
nice comp!
