I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

this is a great haiku. you've certainly captured this tunnel's creative side. have a great day.
The spikes area little scary!!
oh, and were you driving when you took the photo?
fantastic composition!!
a wonderful sense of distance and motion
Oh I like this, were you in the car? Or hanging over?
Into the tunnel—
will we emerge to safety
on the other side?
