Many thanks, Ron . . . tricky lighting for sure. BTW, I accidentally deleted your comment of one of the other images of the ruins. So sorry! I think this is the second time I've done this to you. It's because the "delete" button and the "reply" button are right next to each other! Possible design flaw on VB's part.

Greacious thanks, Lizzie . . . yes, these cave dwellings are truly amazing! Don't know how people were able to do what they did with such limited tools.
