So have you ever been in any cave small or large? I love mystery mystery

The Lost Sea in Sweetwater, TN @Thinkerbell

@Thinkerbell
Do you remember this at Luray?

@PatKirby

Yep.

@PatKirby very cool wanna go now 😁

@Thinkerbell
To think it took nature eons to artfully create those sculptures.

@PatKirby right it's so beautiful honestly and the fact that it happened all on its own

@PatKirby

Drip, drip, drip for hundreds of thousands of years...

@Thinkerbell it saddens me that some of the caves here in Illinois were touched by people and now the won't drop and can never grow again..at least that's what the guide said

@Thinkerbell
Exactly! The stalactites and stalagmites are a temporal wonder all their own. Such natural beauty!

I have an LP record made there.

@dubkebab
Fascinating! I wonder who figured out the cave's capacity for harmonics? That "stalagpipe" emitting that fine tone is a wonder all its own. The organist works that stalagnote into the piece very well. Thanks, this made my day!

@PatKirby People were apparently plinking out tunes with mallets in the cave as far back as 1880.
Leland W. Sprinkle designed and implemented the console setup in 1956 over a 3 year period.No way would he be allowed to hammer and slice his way through such a unique mineral formation today,so this is as unique of a lithophone that we'll ever hear.

@Thinkerbell very cool place

@dubkebab

Moonlight in Luray Caverns.

I bet Beethoven never imagined that...

@Thinkerbell

There once was this cave named Luray
Whose beauty just blew me Away 😍
Wish on a full Moon 🌕
I could visit real Soon
And hear those stalagnotes all Day!

[i]While entranced in the caves of Luray,
Pat Kirby encountered one day,
A DREADFUL old troll
Who appeared — straight from Sheol —
And frightened poor Patrick away.[/i] 😳
