Light and shadow fill in and smooth out any hollow bringing new line to the design. The reflection of light and dark offer new insight. From Cup and Ring Marks to intricate designs natural light has the key to unlock our perceptions of the inscriptions. The symbols of ancestors often show symmetry and give an idea of importance to space within a design. Their original designs stand well when reflected and when viewed from a different stances. The designs seem ready to be repeated and to be reflected.
The reflections here bring similarities to Egyptian and Babylonian winged symbols that carry discs between their wings. The reflections here set in photographs can be seen easily in the mind especially if you trace the original with your eyes and etch it into your perception and then flip the inscription alongside the original. The deep lines holding light and shadow would make great reflections in water and from the dark and light images in sky and in water two other images can be created in the mind.
Bee Bat, Moth Butterfly, and Buzzard Owl reach into dark and into light skies and out across deep lakes taking sunset and sunrise as their beginning of their active times and having morning and evening as the close to their waking and wandering moments. From the equal day and night at Equinox to the shortest and longest at Solstice our world turns from Summer to Winter and our Earth blooms forth in colour and grows back vibrancy towards Winter. We unlike many animals and plants are in some respects seemingly the same both Summer and Winter so we are perfectly positioned to observe and to reflect upon the changes always active all about us.

The Serpent Stone Aberlemno 1 is classified under the J Romilly Allen and Joseph Anderson's survey as a Class I stone.
Pictish stone - Classification
Class I — unworked stones with symbols only incised. There is no cross on either side. Class I stones date back to the 6th, 7th and 8th century.
Class II — stones of more or less rectangular shape with a large cross and symbol(s) on one or both sides. The symbols, as well as Christian motifs, are carved in relief and the cross with its surroundings is filled with designs. Class II stones date from the 8th and 9th century.
Class III — these stones feature no idiomatic Pictish symbols. The stones can be cross-slabs, recumbent gravemarkers, free-standing crosses, and composite stone shrines. They originate in the 8th or 9th century. Historic Scotland describes this class as "too simplistic" and says "Nowadays this is not considered a useful category. A surviving fragment may belong to a monument that did include Christian imagery".
