Alcove in Laas Geel, near Hargeysa, Somaliland/Somalia, where Neolithic cave paintings have been found. The local nomads used this alcove as a shelter when it rained and never paid much attention to the paintings. The site is now guarded by the local villagers who view these paintings as both national treasures and tourist attractions. Creative Commons image by Najeeb
