27738. ... managed, in about the fifth of the ever better tries, without any automatic flash triggering, to get this group photo.
27744. At about halfway of the Southern Tunnel the fresh rainfall flooded the lower lying hall and we had to stop at this water pool,

27742. Group photo at the dry side of the pool, Jure provided the principal illumination.
27745. Miha and Emil at the jump which we overcame with the help of a rope.
27746. The cave is known not only for dripstone drapery but also for white harder rock inlays, hanging from the ceiling. Probably the most famous is this "lock" scene in the Dvorana s ključavnico / Lock Hall.
27748. Janez in the side tunnel window into the collapse below the Mali naravni most / Little Natural Bridge
27749. Group photo in the Northern Tunnel, side illuminated, very high key
27750. The same scene, front illuminated
27751. At the end we also visited the little cave in the wall of the last (downstream) hall, high above the Rak river. The looks of low gated entrance to Southern Tunnel turned Mitko away, he decided to admire the surface charms of the Rakov Škocjan valley during the underground part of the trip. But for the final leg of the excursion, the little cave, where daylight connects both entrances, he joined the party, and, as can be seen here, he enjoyed it.
