Faces of Inferno
These images are from a visit to Carlsbad Caverns NP in July of 2022. Descending lower and lower the light of day turned into gloom that was only pushed back by weak artificial lighting. In my imagination our path became the River Styx and thus it was not a surprise when I began to fantasize I was seeing the very faces of the damned. It was, to my mind, straight out of Dante! I have added a red-orange wash to each image to simulate the fires of Hell.
