I photographed these spectacular cave formations in Guilin, China, where geological history and dramatic illumination create an almost surreal underground landscape.
While visiting Guilin in China, I explored caves whose formations began hundreds of thousands of years ago. Walking through these enormous chambers, surrounded by stalactites, stalagmites and dramatic rock formations, felt like stepping into another world. Some of the caves around Guilin also preserve ancient inscriptions, adding another layer of history to places already shaped by geological time. The colourful illumination creates a spectacular atmosphere, but what impressed me most was the sheer scale and age of the landscape hidden underground.
