Vacation (Letters in Nature)




At Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, back in the early 1800s, these names were written in candle smoke on ceilings deep underground.

    Amazing that smoke would last so long, such a fragile space. Looking forward to more of your trip.

    I can't imagine how smoke lettering could last so long.

    Wow - crazy. Isn't Farmington CT near you? Did you see Kim2900 in the great Bluegrass state?

    Love the old fashioned style lettering of the times too.

    Cool script. I loved Mammoth Cave when I saw it 22 years ago, but I guess I didn't see the writing, or I forgot about it!
