Mohsen, I hope your troubles are over now. This rock art is amazing. Quite the stories it must tell. The lighting you have captured on the rock face really shows off the artwork very nicely.

Welcome back, Mohsen. That is a lot of art, and you had great light to work with, well done.

Thats incredible! So you can just walk up to this and photograph it? Wow!

Is anyone saving photographs of historical importance here?

Welcome back Moshen. Wonderful image of pre-historic art. I like the comp you have chosen here to highlight the art here.

Thanks for sharing this with us. Good exposure of the rock art. It is fun trying to figure out what the art represents.

Sorry for whatever troubles you've been through. Such chaos. Not only life, but also what the photo shows. When I look closely, I see some different motifs than we see in rock art here in the US. For example, the large birds.
