Airshaft, Foulridge Tunnel, Leeds & Liverpool Canal

I apologize for the motion blur of some of this image, but it was taken looking up into the central airshaft of Foulridge Tunnel on the Leeds & Liverpool Canal as we passed underneath in a narrowboat. The water cascading down through this portal made for rather an uncomfortable photographing experience! The nascent stalactites around the mouth of the shaft are quite an interesting feature. There are three air shafts along the length of the tunnel, this being the central one.
