I’ve debated if it’s a good idea to put this photo here, but have decided it must be done. It’s under tma’s ‘artistic/interpretative’ section, as it is a photo of a modern carving in the CnR style.
In case anyone finds this new CnR motif carved on the outcrops at Blawearie, just across from Old Bewick, please don’t mistake it for the real deal. It’s a modern carving, created in 2012 to act as a memorial for the mighty Jan Brouwer (rockartuk), creator of the now sadly unavailable British Rock Art Collection online database.
Apologies to the rocks, the archaeological record and all, but Jan contributed a heck of a lot of time and effort to the study of these carvings, and it seems fitting he should be accorded this tribute.

A fitting tribute, and a great photo of it to.
Cheers Hob :-)
Beautiful carving and an apt memorial.
Thanks folks, it seemed the right thing to do.
Hi Hob
I've asked a question on the forum. I hope you don't mind - I have the greatest respect for Jan and love the carving but it did raise a question mark.
best wishes
tjj
You're some fella Mr H.
