I think I'm liking my new method for enhancing very weathered petroglyphs. I'm using the combination drawn and parametric masks in a second Darktable exposure module instance. First I paint in where I want the mask. Then I adjust it using the parametric functions. Then I lighten the faded petoglyphs. What do you think? Does this image look too manipulated or does it look fairly natural?

A color close up portrait photo of ancient rock art. The rock art is on a rusty color boulder face. It is about half a meter from top to bottom. Across the top is a wavy pattern of three small dots in parallel. They form a wave across the top. On the left under the wavy pattern of dots is what appears to be a person in a head dress that looks like a water fountain. The waves of dots may be coming out of the head dress. The person has claw feet and below the feet a wavy snaky line goes toward the bottom on the image and then turns 90 degrees and disappears off the left side. A smaller figure of a person is on the right. It has three fingered hands and maybe a short tail? The head looks like a duck (which is seen on other rock art panels in the area). Next to that figure, further to the right, is a geometric figure that looks like a gas pump and below that, not attached are two feet that look like swim fins. There' more lines, two actually, of wavy dots running from left to right through the big figure on the left and under the smaller figures on the right.

I'm always talking about Dragonfly. It's an area at the north end of the Arenas valley on the old Fort Bayard military reserve. A quirk of geology means that there's almost always water there. The Mimbreño people lived there about 800 years ago and left the beautiful petroglyphs that give the area it's name. #NewMexico #archeology #RockArt

El eland es el protagonista mayoritario de las miles de imágenes que nos han dejado los san o bosquimanos en cientos de lugares. Este se encuentra en la cueva de la Bahía de Elands en el parque uKhahlamba-Drakensberg de Sudáfrica. Los chamanes tomaban la potencia de estos animales gracias a estas imágenes. Por eso, en algunas se muestran como teriántropos, es decir, con forma humanoide. #sudafrica #southafrica #arterupestre #rockart

Detallada pintura en roca de un antílope eland. Tiene el cuerpo más grande que otros antílope, con la silueta del dorso similar a una vaca, pero con dos cuernos rectos.

#SouthAfrica: new #Drakensberg nature reserve will protect ancient #RockArt, #wildlife, livelihoods, #grasslands and water theconversation.com/south-afri

"Most importantly, it will open a new and important wildlife migration corridor. Migratory animal populations will be able to recover as they’ll no longer be isolated and fragmented... It took six years for landowners and conservationists to get the new park formally declared, much faster than it usually takes to have land declared protected."
