Description
Took this image in the Sudwala Caves - the oldest inhabited caves in the world.
Imagine a system of caves over 30 kilometres in length, of which only 600 metres is accessible, that date back 3 000 million years to a time when incredible stresses cracked the dolomite of the Mankelekele Mountains (also spelt Makelexele) - part of the Drakensberg escarpment that separates the highveld from the lowveld of Mpumalanga - allowing water to slowly trickle, forming a series of passages through the rocks.

Now here's something you don't see every day: well, not in Chicago, at any rate! I love the colors and the rock formations themselves are endlessly fascinating. This is amazing!
