Hällristningar - Rock Carvings

These are photos of some rock carvings we found in the Bohuslän area of Western Sweden on a trip there in 1996. A lot of them had been recently restored with red dye, reconstructed to match traces found in the carvings, to make them look something like they must have done at some point in the distant past (though whether this was truly original or added at a later date is open to debate). The red colour certainly makes them easier to see and photograph though, and preserves the carvings a little from erosion by acid rain...
