altered perception

To enter the famous European caves of Lascaux, Chauvet, Altamira, Pech Merle and many others is to enter another world. You are greeted by a whole menagerie of hauntingly beautiful representations of animal images. Bison, bear, deer and mammoths abound, painted in such a way that the very rock formations of walls and ceiling accentuate their features. The famous Hall of the Bulls in Lascaux is a gallery that will easily accommodate fifty people.
