Caves really freak some people out — there are a lot of folks uncomfortable with the dark, with small spaces, with bats and blind, transparent creepy crawlies.
I love caves. They’ve always felt like comforting, safe spaces to me. Thrown into total darkness, the cool, still, and damp air barely flowing over me, hearing bats and birds squeak near the entrances, I feel calm. Running my fingers over rocks that grow, I’m awed at how alive caves are. How many green things can grow inside of them. How many creatures can thrive in a challenging environment.
I feel relaxed in caves…

You are almost blending into the landscape. Lovely shot – and I bet it felt deliciously cool on your skin down there. A really sensual atmosphere.

Ha! It was conveniently unpopulated, in any case! If only I’d had a partner with me…

Amazing collection of colors in the rocks. And you don’t exactly blend in but do make them harder to focus on.

Oh wow this is so hot! I couldn’t even step foot in a cave, I’d be too scared. To see you so relaxed in an environment I’m afraid of just makes this even more beautiful!

I like caves – when they’re big enough and I can see the way out! Your photo evoked happy memories of a similar experience I had in a forrest (which was much more expansive i.e. less claustrophobic)

I’ve always loved caving. Dark (often lonely) places just invite intimacy and sensuality. The cool damp always feels inviting in summer. The cave compliments your beauty wonderfully.

Thank you so much. I find caves and dark forests to be very sensual places, too – perhaps the isolation just invites us to let go of inhibitions.

In a week of quite stunning images, this is possibly my favourite.
You look rugged and strong yet also vulnerable and sexy against the rock.

Wow – a very sincere thank you. That’s exactly how I feel when I’m doing outdoorsy things – sexy because I’m strong! I like that you see vulnerability in this, too, because I was definitely feeling that as you never know when other tourists might pop in!

I love this image. The strength and resilience of your stunning form against the rugged rocks. I can imagine the contrast of the soft heat of your body and the hard cold of the stone. Wonderful!

Thank you! Rocks are also great to lie on because they’re scratchy… 😉

I’m not keen on super small spaces but as long as I have room to move I love caves, especially ones where I could stumble across a gorgeous you laying across the rocks.
