Efforts to control the microbial & fungal growths in the caves are ongoing. Conservation issues of the caves have led to reproductions & replica depictions of the caves being necessary.

There are three physical reproductions, Lascaux II - IV & also detailed VR simulations. 4/4

Always doubtful of any photographic technical 'ability', I can at least spot an opportunity. Walk by the canal in Coventry and this caught my eye. Pleased with how it turned out. Samsung A52. Low light.
