The rock paintings at Nyero in southeast Uganda are among the most interesting in East Africa. A large shelter wall displays concentric circles and what have been described as 'people sitting in canoes'. Though damaged by rain seepage, the bold red outlines are clearly visible; however, the chalky white pigment that once filled in these outlines has all but disappeared.

The star trails appear to be a vortex surrounding the bristlecone pine (Pinus longaeva) in the ancient bristlecone pine forest in the Inyo National Forest. The bent wood is known to geographers as krumholz, and is caused by the winds of the area over time.
