looking at the photo I took last summer at SF Ocean Beach's cave area made me think of those miers in west virginia trapped & died in coal mine earlier this month.

were they in the dark like this, and were looking for a ray of light like this?

i've always viewed the light at the end of cave as cheerful image, but the incident change my view. maybe it's jazz i'm listening to, but the outline of cave and contrast of white light look so sad and cold.

may those miners rest in peace...
