A corgi in a wheelchair is looking majestic as he stands in the sun.

A 1932 Rolls-Royce Shooting Brake 20/25 is shown in a car museum. It has sweet wood paneling.

A small pond is shown in a cavern. Parts of it glimmer as it is a wishing pond where visitors have thrown coins.

An adult T-Rex and a baby t-Rex which are made out of fiberglass and what looks like papier-mâché are shown standing outside. They are very derpy looking.

The stunning Luray Caverns in Virginia—where nature’s artistry shines underground. #Photography #PhotoOfTheDay #Virginia #LurayCaverns

This photo captures the breathtaking underground formations of Luray Caverns in Virginia, one of the most famous cave systems in the eastern United States. The image showcases dramatic stalactites hanging from the cavern ceiling and stalagmites rising from the cavern floor, meeting in towering limestone columns formed over millions of years by the slow drip of mineral-rich water. The golden and amber lighting highlights the natural textures, grooves, and layers within the rock, emphasizing their sculptural beauty and immense size. Shadows create depth and mystery, enhancing the surreal atmosphere of this subterranean wonder. The interplay of light and dark reveals the intricate details of the formations, inviting the viewer to marvel at the forces of geology that shaped these cathedral-like chambers. Luray Caverns, discovered in 1878, remains a remarkable example of nature’s artistry, inspiring awe and wonder in all who step inside.

A gothic, cathedral-like formation deep inside Luray Caverns, Virginia—where time, water, and stone create natural masterpieces. #Photography #PhotoOfTheDay #Virginia #LurayCaverns

An awe-inspiring geological formation deep inside Luray Caverns in Virginia. This towering column of stalactites and stalagmites, fused over centuries, displays incredible texture and natural symmetry. The structure’s draped, almost curtain-like appearance gives it a gothic, cathedral-esque presence. The interplay of warm lighting and shadow accentuates the detailed ridges and mineral layers, highlighting the cave’s intricate and ancient beauty. Surrounded by other dramatic speleothems, the scene evokes a sense of mystery and reverence, transporting the viewer into an underground world shaped by the slow, persistent rhythm of nature. Luray Caverns, known for its large chambers and stunning formations, is a natural wonder and a must-see destination in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley.

Explored some caverns today. Concerned how this little dude on the sign has fully detailed hands but stubby legs. Maybe he didn't watch his step, and his feet fell off. #COMM381 #LurayCaverns

People put dollars in wishing wells now? Inflation is out of control.
