Description
This is one of many tunnels used in the Sierras. They go up to the railroad tracks, and huge bulldozers can barge right through when trains get stuck. My son and I walked partway thru here, but it was so frozen and icy, it was impossible to walk safely. There are huge icicles, and gigantic blocks of ice just waiting to fall; there were some already on the ground the size of a VW!!! NOT a good place to be when one of those lets go!!

Cool Shot - literaly. :-) There is quite a history in those tunnels - they are officially called sheds. Don't know why. I've never seen one from where you were. Very interesting.

I wish you had put your son in the shot Marilyn, just to give us a sense of scale, your narrative suggests that this tunnel is huge. That new camera of yours has made it look quite small. Looking at it here I would have guessed it about eight feet, comfortable for a person to walk through. You say the bulldozers can go through, the bulldozer I used to drive had an eight foot tall rock blade and I was sat another few feet above that. That would put the tunnel at about eighteen to twenty feet high, thats some tunnel through the side of a mountain, it looks rough hewn as well, I bet it took some time to dig it out. I would love to have a walk through it, I can see some of the chunks of ice hanging down, it would have to be in the summer months I guess. Superb capture, if somewhat bright round the snowy edges, excellent narrative, good information. Bravo!!!!!

I didn't realize those tunnels were so 'roughly' cut. That's a cool place to see.

Step gingerly! Splendid POV, DOF and textures on display here, although I believe this is what is meant by tempting fate. This is really eerie, Marilyn, reminiscent of the horror cave movies I love so much.

The size of this place is Very Deceptive. I would have thought by the photo it was only 8 or 10 feet tall, but VW Bug sized cicles Ain't no joke!!
