Stalactites and Stalagmites - Near Chattanooga, Tennessee


Good morning,

This fascinating pattern was made by forming stalagmites forming inside a cave at Rock City Gardens near Chattanooga, Tennessee.  The water dripped on this rock and stalactites began to form.  As the water continued over the side of the rock all stalagmites began forming below.  Sadly this beautiful display of nature is within reach of a path and visitors have broken off souvenirs.
