Cave Art?

A quartzite vein in exposed metamorphic rock
reminds me of a prehistoric cave painting.
Or is my imagination running wild!?

    I'm not sure Doug, but it makes for a great abstract image!

    I can definitely see the beginnings of a horse in the rock. It sort of trails off in the hind quarters. Perhaps Mr Caveman had a bit too much of the fermented grapes to get the artwork quite right.

    Great textures, whatever you see. I'd shoot as many images as possible.

    what a find! yes, prehistoric painting, or a fossilised dachshund perhaps ...
    whatever it could be, the colours and textures in this image are superb!

    Wow, so cool. Looks like a satellite view of sedimentation around a river delta to me. Any way you slice it it's cool!
