“…Esthetic and affective properties suggested as to why some places were chosen to make rock art, including proximity to prominent cliffs and mountains, waterfalls or rapids, rocks with features that resemble human faces or animals, and certain acoustic qualities (Gjerde, 2010b; Goldhahn, 2002; Lahelma, 2008, 2010; Lødøen & Mandt, 2010; Rainio et al, 2017). There are rock art sites in Fennoscandia where the geology is clearly different from the surrounding rocks (Sognnes, 2003), but such features have been addressed in a few cases only, also involving color, like on Rødøya and Røsand (rød is Norwegian for red; Sognnes, 2003, p. 204), and for the red rocks along Lake Onega (Gjerde, 2010a, p. 156). Gjerde (2010a, p. 156) suggested that color could be important at the site level, but not a decisive factor on a regional or interregional level.…”
