The “Wieliczka” Salt Mine

[TedG954]

This old mine is outside of Krakow, Poland. It's world-famous for its salt carvings, chandeliers, and artifacts. I had really looked forward to experiencing the mine hundreds of feet underground. My only two disappointments were the lighting conditions and the fact that they herd you through at a fast pace. I got yelled at more than a few times for holding up the tour group.

Fascinating place. A few great shots.

The rather brilliant Stanley Elkin novel 'George Mills' has a visit to the Wieliczka salt mine in medieval times in its first chapter!
