What's your opinion? After seeing this series, called Modern Wilderness , by photographer Daniel Zakharov, one's heart can't help but feel incredibly heavy about these animals' doomed destinies. He goes on, "Nowadays animals are born in captivity, between concrete, tiling, cement-slab buildings and artificial landscapes instead of the endless stretch of nature. Daniel Zakharov's website

Ruinenland Mergelgruben Zur Galerie Bereits vor 2000 Jahren wurde hier im Tagebau Mergelgestein abgetragen, ab dem 15. Jahrhundert zum Bau von Häusern und Kirchen auch untertage. So entstand ein verzweigtes Gangsystem von mehreren hundert Kilometern, das sich in 10 bis 30 Metern Tiefe durch den Berg zieht, davon alleine rund 300 Km auf belgischer Seite. Noch heute ist der Zugang stellenweise möglich, wenn auch alles andere als ungefährlich.

Wir wollten die Höhle gerade wieder verlassen, als sich von außen Stimmen näherten. Die dritte Mergelgrube hat gleich mehrere offene Eingänge; einen mit steilem Pfad im Osten und einen weiteren mit leichtem Weg im Südosten des Berges. Am Eingangsportal trafen wir einen ortsansässigen Mann, der mit seinem Hund den Abhang hinaufgestiegen war.
