  • The Petroglyphs of Kenhardt

    On our way way to Augrabies we stopped off to visit a petroglyph site just outside Kenhardt. Amanda made contact with Elma a very enthusiastic woman who agreed to take us out to view the petraglyphs.

    There had been a bit of rain and so the flowers of region had started to blossom. Especially beautiful were the Gouwsblomme.

    The petroglyphs were clustered on one side of a hill or kopie as it is known in Afrikaans. This is part of that kopie.

    What follows is a collection of the pictures I took of the pectroglyphs.
    This one is fascinating in that there are seven toes on what looks like an animal footprint.
