    Photo © David Loeffler 2005. Model: Wookey. There is also an earlier photo which was believed to be this cave, but turns out not to be (they clearly aren't the same hole); I haven't moved it anywhere else on the website since it shouldn't be thrown away and it's not clear to me where else to file it.
