So,
"Welcome to my blog!"
I hope to tell you about from time to time what I am doing and thinking. I don't like the look of Facebook so I thought I could use a blog as a way of keeping in touch. Then I can send people a link to this site instead of joining Facebook...
We have just spent a week in the Western Cape, Tina, Anna and I. Tina's parents live in Montagu and we went to visit them. While we were there I suggested that we all go to Monteco Nature Reserve, near Montagu, to see the place but also to follow up on a rock art site that the previous owners of Monteco sent me a photo of about 8 years ago. I remembered a cluster of variously coloured fingerdots of paint on the ceiling of a small overhang. Not the usual Bushman hunter-gatherer art showing anthropomorphs (human-like images) and zoomorphs (other animals). A bit puzzling I remember thinking. What could they possibly mean? At the time I could only think about things in terms of the interpretive paradigm developed by David Lewis-Williams for the interpretation of Bushman hunter-gatherer art.
