A few petroglyphs from Valcamonica

Photographs taken in October 2002, at

Foppe di Nadro

one of the dozens of sites in the Camonica valley (Province of Brescia), Northern Italy.

These are just a tiny sample, taken at random among the hundreds (or thousands?) of petroglyphs which have been engraved, allegedly throughout the past 10 millenia.

The flat, glacier-polished, stone slabs almost seem as if they were sprinkled amongst the trees of this charming wild chestnut grove.

of this being a high–quality or representative work.
