I was there a couple weeks before you posted the pictures here. Depending on when you went, we may have just missed each other. Thanks for linking to my gallery as well.

Too funny re the timing -What a place, huh?! Your pics are outstanding -I'm particularly curious about how you achieved the color in that 'asbestos-cicle' ([dead link]) -long expo on a tripod?

Thanks. It was a 10-second exposure lit with a friend's gas lantern, although the white balance has been corrected a bit (the lantern has a fairly low color temp). Given the amount of methane floating around in that place, I'm surprised we didn't explode, hah.
