I told Spiff and Digger to stop with the crayons and the jammy fingers but they obviously ignored me. I'll pay for the redecoration, Chris. Just send me the bill.
Now - I see the hands and I see the boomerangs. What are those tri-lobe items?

Chris,

I am adding this photo to the Graffiti theme. Not in a gesture to downgrade it to the level of urban vandalism (as graffs are often seen) but to expand the intellectual horizon of people like myself who may be interested in the wider context of leaving a mark behind.

The note is great and to-the-point, very meaningful and digestable. The photo is 9/10, but this may not be fair because I can't tell under what circumstances you may have had to take the shot. But all this doesn't really matter that much.

Thank you for sharing it.

HI Chris,
Nice documentary note and one of a kind sharp and clear photo, and nice of you to share with us. Far more interesting shapes that what our desendants will find 3500 years from now on our walls : "I was Here" :)

Wow that's pretty cool. Very neat shot, that is something you could blow up poster size and hang on the wall, that'd be awesome wall art. Hmm, wish I had a copy of it so I could do that in my new apartment.

It is a small world.
Hello Chris,
I swear - I took the same photo, the same POV, same crop - exactly the same - almost 20 years later, in December 1999.
Will look for it and post it as a WS of yours. What a timeless land!!!
TFS Thomas

p.s.
Found it - isn't it a miracle that we took idintcal photos of this small part of the wall. As far as I remember, the complete gallerie offers at least 30 meters of choice.

Nice to see such a large area of Aboriginal art. Like a piece of history on this image forever. Well done.

Shameful that people have no respect for these remnants from the past... and you were lucky to capture these paintings while it was still possible, Chris.
All in all the image lookes noise, no not noisy, I mean oversharpened...
Anyway, TFS and thanks for the interesting note too.

Hello Chris!

First good luck with your project to move to Japan for teaching. Keep us posted!

This is really nice. It is indeed amazing such simple work can remain visible 3500 years on the rocks. The Australian weather must be very dry in that region, not to alter the quality of the drawings.

About the size of these hands, do you remember if they were about the same( Adults only , or children, delicate hands of women ) Perhaps then they were most likely quite the same in these rough ages.
TFS,
Robert

That art is fantastic! Some were enought stupid to scratch historic work! I would like they read that... They are less evoluate then the person who did the work! And i don't care if they are upset :)
The colors are vere vivid after all that time! And it could be very nice even on a wall i admit!
