(2005-01-28) | I love this picture, it really captures the site well, lovely light, fantastic mountains. This is a great site to visit, the rock art needs to be seen to be believed. The area in shadow on the largest rock is almost covered in the patterns.
There were two young "boulderers" there when we visited. They were sunbathing below the stone, and seemed to wonder what we were doing taking photos of a rock! However, as we moved away, they got up and inspected the rock art, probably for the first time. Hopefully they saw the rock with new eyes, and won't be using the cups as hand holes any longer..... |
