Love Cave art
So inspiring to imagine that first guy dipping his finger

This Cave man had ideas in a differing direction

We have Limestone mines they call caves near us where they made the Rosendale cement to build the Brooklyn bridge..you have not seen DARK like going into one without a flashlight !! The bats are protected ..don't bother them !! The miners left huge carved pillars to shore things up..but still you wonder !!
