This a tight shot of a section of an unnamed stalagmite forming in the Big Room at Carlsbad Caverns, so I'm naming it. It is lit by incandescent lighting, but I changed it to deep red, cranked the contrast and made some other adjustments for this interpretation. Hardly anyone seemed to even take notice of this feature which I thought was one of the more interesting with its textures and patterns. Not my usual style, but this is such an unusual place.

Happy Independence Day. Our national parks are real treasures, more valuable than all the gold in Fort Knox. If you're fortunate enough to live near or be visiting one, please help to preserve them.

Inside the Big Room at the hall of giants, it's an epic race to see which of these massive stalagmites will be the first to form a column reaching the ceiling. Bit of an homage here to the twin towers. Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico, USA, May 2016

If these stalagmites were named, I missed the sign and they aren't on any map reviewed either, so I'm just going to name them. Lippy and Sawtooth are on the main trail through the big room. The lighting in the caverns is all uniform. I tinted the background blue. Might as well have some fun with this place, and it helps the formations stand out.
