Daily Photo – Deer Cave
The shot below is perhaps the classic Deer Cave shot. Mine is actually a seven-shot HDR - seven slides scanned and merged in Photomatix Pro.

As we went further into the massive passage that is Deer Cave, I turned back and go this shot back to the entrance.
Deer Cave boasts some impressive measurements - passage length of over 4 kilometers with a one kilometer stretch with a width of 174 m and a height of 122 m. The main entrance (photo below) has been measured at 146 m. Indeed, you can get an idea of the scale from the two men that appear in the photo.
As the sun disappeared below the horizon we turned our eyes back to the hills, watching and waiting. And then we started to see the bats of Mulu take flight.
Waiting for the sun to set and the bats of Mulu to take flight, mother nature treated us to this wonderful rainbow as a shower drifted across the hills.
The trail we were following to get to our bat flight viewing experience ran close to the cliff edge in places as you can see in the photo below, of a longboat heading downriver.
