Rapelling Into The Black Hole of, Calcutta, Blue Mountains, Australia

No matter how far down  you may feel, Jesus loves you and He is real!  John 8:12, "Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” 
  Imagine how the person in this picture would feel if he had no light to guide him, and no one there to help!  That's how life is without Jesus, very dark and lonely.  No matter how far down you are or have been, Jesus is always there to lift you out of the black hole, and fill you with His marvelous light!  He loves you.  Give Him your heart now.   Ask Him to lift you and He will.

“It feels like being swallowed by the Earth,” says photographer Carsten Peter of the first of three rappels into the Black Hole of Calcutta in Claustral Canyon, located in Australia's Blue Mountains. Experienced canyoneers avoid it after heavy rains. “The immense power of the maelstrom is responsible for the wide, rounded shape. I liked the transition from dim daylight (ferns on top) into the darkness.”
Getting the Shot
Leave it to adventure photographer Casten Peter, who specializes in erupting volcanoes, crystal caves, and any dangerous locale he can find, to take a couple risks to get this shot. “My assistant John Robens had to swim with a strobe light below the climber in a deep basin within the spray and the noise of the waterfall,” recalls Peter. “He could not hear through Walkie-Talkies, nor by shouting. He was freezing in the cold water. I was on a slippery ledge on top of the waterfall, unsecured," says Peter. "We ended up with a lot of failures, but finally we shed some light into the darkness."
