Caverns
Does anyone have any idea where this is? I’d love to know. I downloaded this picture years ago. The file is named “00.jpg” and has no metadata that I can see. I have no idea who took it.
I’ve been fascinated by large, indoor, hopefully underground, spaces for quite some time. I don’t remember when it started at all. I’m not sure what it is, but they really delight me. I’ve seen a lot more man-made structures like this than I have natural ones. I’d love to visit Mammoth Cave sometime. The artificial caves offer a lot more symmetry and uniformity, which brings along a certain type of beauty. I suppose this love led me to my garage project. Parking garages (or “parking ramps” depending on what part of the States you’re from) are the closest and most easily accessible of this variety of structure. Their ubiquity and invisibility give them a unique place in our car culture.

They are the flood prevention tunnels under Tokyo. Have a look here:

Cool, thanks a lot! I had given up on figuring out where that actually was.
