VL10. Author with a boat along the bed of the river Rak in Velika jama, view to the west, towards the Little Natural Bridge


 

 


 
51804. It was too much luggage, especially photo equipment, for the rather high water table and Vladimir took half of it back. What was left is depicted here.


 

 


 
51815. The rapids at the overflow below Pristan were too strong for landing and disembarking on the usual left (looking upstream) or eastern side.


 

 


 
51805. Wall along the riverbed, above the rapids


 

 


 
51808. The corner of the hall at the beginning of the South Tunnel is filled with calcite concretions. There are some (redundant) lighting traces committed by the author in the upper left part of the image.


 

 


 
51807. It was possible to get through the South Tunnel, wading in the water high to the edge of the boots, to this ascent. Soon after this point the tunnel descended to deep water.


 

 


 
51810. View from Pristan upstream, towards the east. Painting with light, exposure time 30 seconds.


 

 


 
51812. View from Pristan downstream, to the north


 

 


 
51814. A stone's throw away, downstream from Pristan this rocky island is situated. Here it is seen from the south, downstream. The path past the rapids, to deep calm water, runs along the wall on the left side of the photo. Painting with light, exposure time 20 seconds.
