Carlsbad Caverns

Gravity does not stop at Sea level or the surface of the earth. Rocks are not impervious. Water knows this. Infinitely ever so small, the molecules find their way through the limestone, dissolving the ancient shells and bones deposited when the seas covered the region. Forming water passages through the cracks. Then as the calcium rich water seeps through the roof of the enormous cave, precipitating Stalactites, curtains and soda straws from the ceiling, and where it lands, stalagmites. Causing pareidolia, imagined images, as could that really be Jabba the Hut? The caverns are covered with travertine, artificially lit with electrons from above to be captured by the camera.

The water continues downwards.
