Tunnel entrance - above box is located to the left before you enter - tunnel is very dark until you get where the lights are.
Just as you enter the tunnel.
Inside the tunnel. Can see lights up on the left.
Further inside the tunnel. The tunnel curves so you can not see the exit when you enter the tunnel.
Getting towards the end of the tunnel. You can see the natural light coming in at the end.
