Autumn Equinox 2007 - Vic
Petroglyphs, Pontevedra
(Not my photo!) Another trip up into the mountains, this time a lot further away from home, to see some of the larger neolithic carvings - carved into large flat rocks at the top of a mountain. This was in the middle of a forest at the top of a mountain, but was quite a sad sight to behold, as the forest had been stripped bare by the enormous forest fires of the previous year, and only black trunks surrounded us, with bright green ivy growing up them. I wondered how many forest fires these ancient carvings must have witnessed over the last 10,000 years.
