Info I apologize if anyone is offended by this image, but the people who made these rock carvings about 3000 years ago saw things differently than we do. Västra Götaland County has the highest density of petroglyphs in Sweden. The ones in Tanum are even on the World Heritage List. This figure, probably a Weather God, that started the whole petroglyph research science in 1627, is one of the largest rock carvings of a figure in Sweden. It is placed on an almost flat slightly curved rock so you’d need a crane or a drone to get a full overhead shot of it, every other angle produces severe perspective distortions. I came up with the idea of using panorama tech on it, and it worked like a charm! As far as I know, this is the first photo to depict the figure without any perspective distortions. The different shades of grey are the colors of the rock, not shadows. -- All by me. W.carter -- w.carter-Talk 10:44, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
