By the nature of petroglyphs, they're not entirely 2D, and the outlined drawings are a bit stylised and thus under copyright by some modern individual. What's more, most or all of these images aren't Sugar Grove:
is the Smiths Ferry Petroglyphs; it's in the adjacent Fayette County, Pennsylvania
isn't specified
is the Jennings Petroglyphs; it's in the Delaware River in the northeastern part of the state
is a modern representation of the Bald Friar Petroglyphs; it's along the Susquehanna River in the southeastern part of the state
is the Little Indian Rock Petroglyphs; it's in the Susquehanna River in the southeastern part of the state
is the Walnut Island Petroglyphs; it's in the Susquehanna River in the southeastern part of the state
is a map of a body of water
Believe me, I'd try to get my own pictures if I could, but I'm in the state of Indiana, so I don't get to southwestern Pennsylvania very often. Nyttend (talk) 19:15, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I know how you feel, but of course the article would be better if we could see the images. I wonder if photos are allowed (of course they would probably have to be without flash)? Anyway, try Wikipedia:Photograph_request. There is always Craigslist, too. Your pal, GeorgeLouis (talk) 21:53, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It would be, but if there aren't any images at all of Sugar Grove online, there's no point in trying to get permission to use these ones. Flash photos would probably be fine if someone could get there; these are outside, after all, so it's not as if flash would expose them to tons more light than they get otherwise. It's harder than you might think to get photos for archaeological sites; I'm responsible for the only archaeological site photograph on the Greene County list, and it took me all day to find the site, even though I knew exactly where it was on the map.
