Project update part two. PLEASE HELP

I'm going to need some help, from the 4 or so people who look at this blog.

First, a description:

Before cars, trains, and planes, there was only a local environment. Nomadic tribes moved from place to place following their game. These tribes had intimate knowledge of their environment. Future established tribes knew their local environment even more deeply. As time progressed, civilisation sprang up and soon there was exploration on the seas. And then there was the New World. And that was settled, then explored. It then seemed there was nowhere to go, but man looked to the sky. But it seems that the more outward we expand, the more we forget our closest environments. As of today most of the population is only aware of a vague world geography and an even more incomplete understanding of local geography. Beneath the feet of city dwellers are vast unexplored regions of space. Passageways, tunnels, and hidden rooms in the walls. I aim to show people just how close they come to adventure every day of their lives.
There will be a short essay preceeding the work to flush out these ideas. And it will certainly be written better.

QUESTION ONE

Name ideas are as follows
The First Frontier
The Primal Frontier
The Original Frontier
The Forgotten Frontier
White On The Map

or any other idea you come up with.

QUESTION TWO

Should I pair the images with a sattelite image of the place, daytime photos of the place, mapquest directions, or just simple descriptions


NOW THE NEWEST PHOTOS
These are works in progress I need to splash more light about the area to have it glow a little better.



This one needs light to come from within that tunnel in the background. I was just stupid and didn't go down in there. (Notice the fact that the bars are bent for people to get in, proving I'm not the first here.)




This one simply needs to explode with light from inside that grating. I have no idea how I'm going to do that. Woot for checking out equipment.

Personally, I love the title of "The Forgotten Frontier". It is just something that catches attention. All the tunnels, corridors and passageways you are exploring were once created for a purpose. That purpose if forgotten to so many.

I also think, a description of the area is great to include. A day time photo of the area around where you entered the tunnel, corridor, etc, would be interesting as well. Maybe for entrances where there is alot of travel by it in the day, a photo taken showing the crowds passing by unknowingly..
