<\/a>Part of the large shelter. This photo is taken from up on a ledge under the shelter – this thing is about 12 feet tall at its apex!<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>With the naked eye you really don’t see much unless you get right up against the rock face. Take some time to see if you can spot any pigment anywhere in this picture of the back wall.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>This DStretch enhancement shows where the elements are.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Let’s get in close on the individual elements. See if you can spot the pigment.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>It is a small grouping of burst elements.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Here’s a close-up of one of the bursts. It is painted in a slightly smoother area of the shelter. You have to really get close to see these in the dim light of the overhang. This photo approximates what you see when your eyes have adjusted, and you’re looking at the rock face from really close up.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Quite a precisely-drawn little burst.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Another area of faint red pigment. With the naked eye everything looks kind of smudgy, so let’s see what DStretch can show us.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>This is a bigger burst element, and a cross-shaped one.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Actually, there’s more pigment just a little further away, to the left of the cross shape! Let’s look at that. Looks like a half-circle, maybe?<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>That’s weird – two little hook shapes! I cannot tell if that’s part of a larger, now destroyed element or not.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Now, let’s look at an overview of area we’ve been looking at. As soon as you step away from the rock face the pigment becomes really hard to see.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>A DStretch view. Looks like there’s a circle and a line towards the top as well.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>It looks like there’s something on the lighter band of rock you could see in the initial overview, too. Let’s look with DStretch.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Yup – some lines. Not very exciting! Sometimes when you spot faint pigment you hope for a real surprise when you run it through DStretch later on. That happens sometimes, but today wasn’t one of those cases.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>There’s one area we haven’t looked at yet – up on a lower shelf in the shelter. The elements we spotted so far are in that alcove on the lower right.<\/p><\/div>\n
