Vitlycke Museum Tanum, leider war die Zeit zu knapp, wegen Regenschauer.
Zum Glück habe ich das meiste noch fotografiert, das bronzezeitliche Dorf haben wir auch noch gesehen.
Die Tafeln sind auch sehr informativ und gut geschrieben!

The Vitlycke bridal couple is a 3,000-year-old rock carving that portrays a man and woman standing close together, perhaps captured in a sacred wedding rite. Set within the Tanum World Heritage area of Sweden, these figures join a vast Bronze Age tapestry of petroglyphs depicting hunting, sailing, farming, war, and acts of devotion.

12,000-Year-Old Rock Carvings Discovered Beneath Waters of Atatürk Dam in Türkiye
Archaeologists and museum officials in Adıyaman, southeastern Türkiye, have captured underwater images of rock carvings estimated to be 12,000 years old. The carvings, located on the main rock formation along the shores of the Atatürk Dam in Kahta district, belong to the Epipaleolithic Period and depict stylized hunting scenes featuring both humans and animals.

New Face on the Block
People have been vandalising the rocks around here over 300 years, some of the inscriptions are in Latin, but I'm pretty sure this guy wasn't there on my previous visit.

This is Granite which I picked up off the side of my dirt road. It's 3 inches wide and 3.5 long by 2 high (7.6 x 9 x 5 cm). It fits nicely in my palm and is perfect for a Civil Disobedience rally of your choice. Kidding, no violence please. Rocks are for looking at (and carving) not throwing! Carved with a Dremel 4300

Welp...This was an experiment of sorts and I worked on it far too long and should have put it in the discard pile and moved on to something else. But here it is. It's 5.5 x 3.5 x 1.75 inches (14 x 9 x4.5 centimeters). I just don't feel comfortable with the design or the execution but at least I learned something which is always a plus. Sedimentary stone of some type I think.

Before and after pics. Carved today. I wanted to do outside pics but it's raining. Yes, Jan 3rd and rain....in #Maine. It's been unusually warm the past week. Ah yes, the stone. Something a little different in that I carved the ends. 4 by 3 by 1.5 inches (10 by 7.5 by 3.8 cm). Uncertain what the stone is, perhaps I should get to know a Geologist! Not a soft stone. I should find some as it would make it easier to experiment carving designs

Before/after pics. Granite. Start out with a pencil line and then use ever increasing width diamond bits. Following the line with the first bit is tedious as the stone is hard and the bit can wander. Easier in softer stone. Dimension in Alt Text. If I don't like the finished piece I put it in a pile then lug into the woods around me (measured in sq miles) and toss them about. I pity the poor archeologist a 1000 years from now going WTF?

Back in 2015 I made an #AR installation for the world heritage #rockcarving site in #Tanumshede, so I found it very interesting to see similar tech used to teach visitors about the workings of the #Grimeton #VLF #Radio Station.
It's a world heritage site on account of being the last operational long range mechanical radio transmitter, its design pre-dating vacuum tubes! It transmits #morsecode using a big spinning alternator wheel to generate a 17.2kHz signal which can reach New York and beyond

A stone I carved a while back with a nod to ancient carvings found on rocks, most notably the circular designs. Looking closely you can seen a natural vein around the center. It's 3.5 inches wide, 3.5 high and 1.75 wide. (8.9 x 8.9 x 4.5 cm). More than likely Granite. Tool used was a Dremel 4800 with a round diamond bit.

No before image as this was carved before I started doing that. Trying to post this before power goes out, heavy snow in Maine. Stone is 3 by 5 inches (7.6 by 5 cm). Inspired by #Prehistoric rock carvings which I've been mesmerized by since childhood. (you know, before dirt).

A before and after picture since I have finally started showing stones I have carved since being on Mastodon. The pencil marks are where I hoped to carve but that sometimes changes on the finished stone. The finished stone has a light coat of polyurethane applied to contrast the carving. Much like wetting a stone to bring out it's colors. It's approx. 4.5" long, 3.5" wide and 2 inches high. (11.4 by 8.8 by 5 cm).

Another rounded stone that I carved recently. This one is 3 inches by 2.5 inches (7.6 by 6.3 centimeters). I'm running out of stock to carve so I have to get out and look for some soon. Perhaps I'll try along the rocky (of course!) coast nearby. Always great to be looking out over the North Atlantic even in Winter.

This is a smaller stone, 3 inches by 1.25 inches (7.6cm x 3.2cm) which was found along my dirt road. I generally look for stones that have some interesting aspects to them and this one appealed to me with the whitish ends. The second photo it almost looks like a slug crawling on the ground. The amount of time spent carving varies greatly depending on the stones hardness and of course size. This probably took 3 hours or so.

This is one of the heftier stones, approximately 5 inches long and 3.5 inches high (12.7cm by 8.9cm).
It's granite, just like all the ledge in my yard though this is rounded, probably by glaciers which once moved over my property long past. There are massive scar marks on the exposed ledge throughout my property from those moving mountains of ice.

Okay, another carving but one that is a bit different than what I usually do. I really have to take 'before' pictures as it would explain what was done to this particular stone. No, I do not know what type of rock it is, though it was on the ground close to my house. Maybe someone has an idea of what the composition is?
