Things are finally beginning to stir in NW Iberia.

Mr Galovart's spent the last few years researching equinox lines in Galician rock art and I thought it was not coincidental to see an entry in English for the first time in his blog.
Plausible or not, the orientation of designs in reference to the islands, the western sunset at different times of the year ('Here is the Land's End') and other features like prominent hills, is a Poetic Fact in itself, easy to observe on the field by anyone who cares (also not forgetting to take into consideration ancient azimuths as well as modern ones, of course). I've spent thousands of hours myself rejoicing in the great views alone from these ancient sites, without having a clue why they were put there in the first place.
But elsewhere in ancient Gallaecia, it's even better to see scores of folks cataloguing their own heritage when governments and councils stand for Absolute Worthlessness:

Choose megalithic monument or petroglyph in 'tipo de ben'.
It's also a plus to see GPS references for sites that were previously almost impossible to find. And the list keeps growing. A decade of patience has been worth it.
Well done, People.
