• Dagub Cave

    9 dicembre, Yemen ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

    Dagub cave was first occupied millennia ago. It is still occasionally used, most recently in the storm of 2015 when the local village moved themselves and their livestock here for protection.
    This is a particularly wet cave with water constantly dripping and forming stalactites and stalagmites. The ready source of water makes this cave attractive for dwelling.
    The 1st picture looks at the cave mouth from a short distance away. The 2nd picture is of 2 columns formed by water that have bushes growing out of them. The 3rd picture is of a bowl shaped feature into which water is constantly dripping. You can see a splash or 2 in the water surface.
    The next 4 pictures are other views in this open and not very deep cave mouth, though it can hold a village and its livestock. The last of these pictures looks into a recess that extends farther into the hill but requires crawling to enter.
    The very last picture is the view from the cave mouth.
