World heritage of rock carvings

Rock carvings i Tanum is a world heritage. This is from the Bronze Age, and it seems like there is a whole forest of rock carvings. Read on the Internet that there are thousands of pictures on rocks. I will present some of them. But first, at totally different thing.

When we turned our car into the car park, a whole row of sports cars followed us. We had seen them on our way there, here and where on the roads. Yes, our Saab 9-5 combi from 2000 something, probably felt a bit odd and different from all the eager sports cars from the 80's or something. But Saab is my thing.

Well, sports cars... all were driven by male drivers in age 50 or more, and they did not have sense enough driving their precious old cars in a nice way. The road that passes Vitlycke rock carvings was equipped with a speed hump. And if you have a quite low car, you drive slowly and if you have possibility, you drive up a bit at the side. And these drivers had that possibility. Still, we saw and heard several drivers who scratched their chassis against the ground. :-o

By the way in to the car park, this big stone is located. Don't know what it is symbolizing, but I had it on picture anyway. 

When it comes to the rock carvings, we found some - of course; some more interesting than others. This one for example. We've been into horse business, both riding and harness racing. This rock carving is kind of both - or nothing, something in between. It is not even a horse, but the man is located up on the back of the animal, even if it is more on its rump. But there is still a wheel. Strange picture, but somehow, I feel connected.

And this man. I had him sent out on the Facebook, because I thought it was so odd compared to our culture nowadays. Flasher? Or a raper? Is he running from you or toward you? His penis is erected and he has his hands, with four and three fingers respectively, up in the air, like he is scaring or has being scared, which also is connected to if he is running from you or toward you.   

And than we have this one. Is the man having sex with an animal or what is really going in here?

The bridal couple to the right is one of the most famous rock carvings in Bohuslän. I took the picture, believing it was some sort of sport activity. But when I read about it afterwards, I realized that others interpreted it as a bridal couple. Well, who knows?

I end this text with a picture of my husband Gorm in front of Vitlyckehällen, as includes all of the pictures above.
