Brett, Jennifer, their supervisor/awesome-cool-gal Shoko and I made a day trip to Akiyoshidai for some serious underground cave exploring (as opposed to above-ground cave exploring). Shoko drove us in her red-hot Mazda blaring Foo Fighters and Christina Aguilara. We went to two caves actually, one was really touristy and had lights everywhere and automated speakerboxxxes talking to us...but the second one was awesome b/c we got headlamps and rubber boots and after a point, there was no lighting so it was up to our headlamps and flashlight.
I cannot look at this picture of Brett without laughing to the point of being awkward. He was trying to buckle up his helmet strap.
Shoko, Brett, Jennifer.
Certain rock formations had names based on their shapes and such. This blue-green formation in the middle was a king or something, I forget.
Bizarre. Looked like a waterfall.
This is, to me, the side of a massive dinosaur. See its skin.
I'm not sure how these colours came about, but I do remember when I took this picture I couldn't see anything; this is just the way the pic turned out. Pretty sweet.
We took an elevator from the depths of the caves to the top of a hill and from there we could walk around on this beautiful, rocky, UNDEVELOPED land. It reminded me of my dad's pictures of Scotland. No sheep though.
