I was just past here yesterday (Sunday 1 Sept) ! The motifs are pretty deep. I don't think they are "fading" at all. The carvings are sheltered from weather and no-one is sandpapering them off. They are however difficult to photograph properly. A real camera with manual focus, strong sunlight or torchlight (rather than flat cloudy day light) and plenty of water to give definition and edge highlights really helps. For RA visits and photography I carry about six litres of water in on my back and decant it into a plant spray pump thing. You get results like this. https://www.themodernantiquarian.com/img_fullsize/107020.jpg Compare. https://www.themodernantiquarian.com/img_fullsize/166999.jpg The problem woith Ballochmyle Walls is the orientation of the cliff face, the height of the carvings above the ground and dull Ayrshire weather. Persevere! |
