Sunkenkirk 7

One must be careful when photographing non-sedimentary rock art. Some of these monuments have psych-retractable RA. These are that subset of markings which only appear when certain unknown conditions are met*. Even then, it can only be observed by those whom it wishes to be seen by.

This is why the carvings don't like being photographed, photos leave them with no control over who sees what. And one must be careful, because these stones have devised cunning silico-cognisant techinques which produce pulses of causality-rending piezo-electricity. The overall result causes the would-be photographer to be forever unable to convince the rest of the world that the carvings are anything other than his overactive imagination ;)

*A characteristic also shared, though to a lesser extent, by many markings found on sedimentary rock.

I know the best mindset for finding stuff - but it's unpleasant (like a soldier on a dangerous mission). I've no pictures of the marks/carvings on the rocks that possibly close the Broad Mea cairn. This is why I asked you and Fitz to please go and take a look. I'll not be back there till next June. There is an exposure of the tail of the kiln and several of David's Cairns. My buzzard in a trap pictures came out too.
There is a heap of stuff that is unrecognised as carved. And is classed, if classed at all, as erosion. I'll post an example some time of a single example (Paul's Bumstone) that is on the SMR and yet badly photographed. If there's a muckload of protest I'll delete it. The stones in Bolton, several are artificially marked, have only been photographed by one person - the same as those at the Knar. In a way these stones didn't exist at all (carved or eroded) before that shutter fell.
