This photo was taken at a con-struction jobsite left sitting for a year due to financial issues. When construction resumed in late 2010, workers were surprised to find cracks in the elevator pit from where mineral-rich groundwater managed to seep in. As a result, a few cav-ern-like formations had appeared. Shown in the image is a stalactite forming on a rusted toe guard and a stalagmite in the pit-light piping. Perhaps the workers who made the discovery can now add “spelunking” to their résumés.
