Niaux Cave Entrance, France 2011

People believe, this is the entrance by which the prehistoric Magdalenians entered the cave. I took the vegetation out and added the paintings which can all be found in the "salon noir"(black room or gallery). Niaux is part of a very big complex of connecting caves, Niaux itself has been visited for centuries,there are all kind of names and dates on the walls and it made me think of Tom Sawyer. We were so excited to see the animals for ourselves, but first we had to walk well over a kilometer in the dark with our individual flashlights.
