When Colombia stopped mining salt 20-30 years ago the government converted the mines to cathedrals, chapels and the Stations of the Cross. That may only mean something to you if you are Catholic (or ex Catholic). Anyway, for the first time in half a century I completed the Stations of the Cross with my camera.
Australia has a strong connection here. All the internal struts supporting the mine are Australian Eucalypts, chosen because they absorb moisture, harden and set like steel!
Good pictures!! They look so well despite the darkness of the place. By the way, the Colombian government is still mining salt, but in a more modern way, without explosives.
