Light Beam in Hellhole
by Brian Masney
Hellhole has a very beautiful 155′ entrance pit. There is a very bright sunbeam that shines into the entrance around Spring time. It generally occurs from 11:30am - 12:30pm. This was the first time that I saw it this bright.
Hellhole - Germany Valley, WV
Equipment: Kodak DX7630 Zoom

    WOW. It reminds me of seeing a glimps of Heaven when we are faced with hard times. Crazzy picture! It sure portrays a lot of symbolism. It really speaks to me.

  3. Christy Says:

    WOW, Is This Star Trek or Independence Day!!?
    The man standing under the beam and the diagonal placement of the shaft of light have really made this a very powerful image.

  5. John Says:

    Love it! Its like something from a sci fi film. the proportion of the image is just right too. The relative size of the man just makes the sun ray look even better. Well done

    It doesn’t look like much of a hell hole to me. Beam me up Scotty.

    I think we are all thinking along the science fiction line! It does look “out of the world”. Excellent work!

    This shot is so perfect in all aspects that it makes you think of some “divine” intervention. :) Great shot Brian. It made me actually want to be there. I know it would blind the heck out of my eyes, but I bet its a really great feeling to stand in such an unusual light beam ;) . Thanks.
