I have just had a tour in the Middle of VN:

Heaven cave (Paradise cave, Thien duong cave) is a real cave in National Park Phong Nha - Ke Bang , Son Trach commune , Bo Trach District , Quang Binh Province. The cave is located in the forest zones of ecological restoration , limestone core zone of the national park of Phong Nha - Ke Bang . Paradise Cave was discovered in 2005 , the Royal Association of British cave discovered in 2005-2010 and in 2010 they announced this cave has a total length of 31.4 km (just 1km walkway to visit inside cave) , the longest cave in Asia. Due to the beauty of stalactites and stalagmites in the cave , they have named this cave is Heaven .
According to the Association of the British Cave Research , Heaven cave was big and beautiful than the Phong Nha cave . Heaven is a dry cave, no underground river flows through as the Phong Nha .
According to a preliminary survey of scientists , compared with the Phong Nha cave , then Heaven and length scales much larger . Heaven cave has many stalactites and stalagmites block magic . Most of this soil is soil plasticity , quite flat so convenient for sightseeing and exploring . The temperature inside the cave Heaven is always different from the outside about 16 ° C.

It's difficult to to take focus because inside cave is dark, high moisture (blur lens).

Some scenes I had to shot several times, I have not yet master photography and usually adjust my camera several times for a scene.
In these pics which one is the best?

They all look pretty good for where you were and the conditions. I doubt I could have done better. The eighth and tenth shot are really nice because of the way you caught the formations so well....and the rest are just really cool because we get to see the inside of the cave. And thank you for the long walk up the mountain too!!

I'd really love to be able to see the cave in person. Your pictures tell me that it would rival the Carlsbad Caverns National Park although Carlsbad isn't quite as wet as Vietnam. However I don't think I could stand the 15+ hour plane rides each way nor the climb to the top of a mountain (even if it was only 500 feet high.) Thank you for your lovely pictures of a gorgeous natural wonder.

Stunning shots! It's sooo hard to get good shots in a cave with the humididty, low light, etc. Light just wants to bounce off the air! Well done! :thumbup:
