This dude is obsessed with tunnels, but he takes really cool pictures of them. Some of these are storm drains, sewers, caves, or just general passageways but his obsession has led him to explore what he calls "The Vanishing Points" of the Earth, for nearly a decade. Check out his site to see more; here are some of my favorite pictures:
From his site:I've never felt deeper and more completely embraced by the earth around me than I did when I got the chance to enter thetailrace and push through rising waters to stand in Niagara's secret mists. The specifics of how we did it are best left unreported -- those with sufficient ability and experience to do what my expert acquaintances did for us would have already (the plant is now being renovated by the Niagara Parks Commission, as a result of which the wheelpit is on the verge of becoming completely inaccessible).
Lying below a river that will relentlessly tear into the bedrock until all has been obliterated from Queenston to Erie, this tunnel thirty-three feet in diameter is imprinted into my being forever. A swirling army of red brick millions strong, the eye of a petrified hurricane leading us right into the centre of the stalled but fighting storm that is Niagara Falls. Standing in its back-blast, in a place far deeper and darker than any middling storm sewer, I breathed and drank from the fount of the universe and swam closer to its centre than I ever will again.
