Due to people lacking respect for this historic site where the aboriginals wrote on the stone, a barbed wire fence had to be put in.

I love the composition and exposure Jonathan, but I'm not seeing the petroglyphs. If they're visible here, is there some way to process the image to stand out a little more?

The same problem of vandalism is rampant through the Southwest, but protection is only provided in areas that see lots of visitors. I hate to see the fences, but I hate the vandalism more!

I'm not seeing the petroglyphs either. I haven't seen much vandalism, but fencing is definitely a problem.
