A ''HFF'' to everyone .. from Dj..... 'Maro'

The small chrome fence seen here - surrounds a hole of around 1 metre diameter where on 12 January 1959, local boys from the nearby village of 'Maro', discovered the now world renowned ''Nerja caves'' system. Today these caves are one of the biggest attractions in the region and contain the widest naturally-formed column in the world, at 32m high and 13x7m at its base - formed by the merging of a stalagmite and stalactite.

What a great shot David. Wonderful play of light. Combined with the transparency of the tributes to the boys and the very shiny fence this looks like an illusion or a scene from Star Trek. (Sorry - too many years watching my daughter's beloved programmes!) Beam me up Scotty!! Lol!"! HFF and have a good weekend
