Rock Art Gallery
Ruiterbos
The larger photos (on click) are relatively big: 60 to 100kb. The greater visibility is worth the patience though.
The rocky overhangs in the mountainous area around Ruiterbos are dotted with rock paintings. |
Most are very faded and water-damaged. Some are sign-posted from hiking trails, others are known to local people. |
If you look out for it, you are as likely as the next person to spot an unknown artwork. |
| The two images above are really puzzling. |
| Are these people or animals? If they are people, why are they on all fours? |
| Can you throw some light on the subject? |
| Move the mouse over the images to see an overlay. | ||
| This is not necessarily a correct interpretation but serves to aid the eye in seeing the pictures. | ||
| The following 4 scenes are all from 1 rocky overhang above the waterfall on Skaapplaas. | ||
| It makes a great day outing to view these and have a swim in a pristine rockpool! |
