Whoa. All three are very, very impressive.
At first I thought about the panorama crop and the colour: that looks good.
Then I scrolled and saw the gritty b&w and went further: Whoa-whoa. Good, too!
And then I came to the third ... and now I am typing my praise furiously!
They are wonderfully gritty and I love the lighting, the graffiti, the lines, the reflections on damp ground, the effects of long exposure about them. GOOD!

For some reason, Phantom of the Opera comes to mind. Great shots and I'm assuming all the light comes from what's been wired into the place. Is it safe down there?

Wow, thanks for all the kind words. I really appreciate it.

Yes, all the light down there was artificial. Although there were spots where they'd been knocked out and there would be a few hundred meters of pitch black. Was very exciting.

As for whether it's safe, I felt pretty comfortable down there, although funnily enough there weren't many others. Apparently a lot of the homeless sleep down there when they can't find any other shelter for the night.

Sadly we did come across two 11 year old kids about a km into it. They were lighting fires and spraying paint on it, drinking whiskey and sniffing glue. A mate of mine got a good shot of them but mine was very poor. We left them and continued on our way up the rivulet, and about 10 minutes later we saw that they were following us up in the shadows. We told them we could see them and they came out wielding fairly large knives. They never intended on hurting us. I had a chat with both of em as we walked up and they put the knives back in their pockets. They were pretty rough but were nice kids. Although after that, they felt the need to jump in front of every single frame we tried to take.
