 I could see the dragon as Smaug... or maybe a decoration for the Green Dragon  The salt chandeliers are definitely from Moria. That's how they kept it alight!

I'm glad you both like the pictures, Gal55 and Legate. They are such a testament to the human desire for beauty.
Legate, if you ever do visit the site, please give us a report. It would be really interesting to hear what it means to experience the mine.

These pictures brought back a lot of memories, for I visited this mine back in the early 90s. It was a most strange and beautiful place: I remember a lovely tableau - all out of salt - of the marriage of a Hungarian princess to a Polish king.
And yes, when I walked through the tunnels of rock which opened up into great, brightly-lit halls, I remember thinking "Moria."
