Gezbeli submitted by davidmorgan on 21st Nov 2023. Sorry about this. I spent about ten minutes staring at this rock-face trying to make out the carved relief here.
Anyway, this is the place to look. Photo taken in 2011. I had already failed to see it previously in 2008. You need to get there early for the sun.
