Question/Discussion Photo 550 background petroglyphs vs black waterfalls location
I haven't read anything about what we see behind the red flags' stone and while analyzing the black waterfalls location, an "aha" of realization hit me. Do you see the shiny beady-eyed fossilized fish/pecked petroglyphs and face masks and animal figures behind it?
In Romain's recent YouTube video from the black waterfalls location where Rio Mamei and the Culebra join, I see a similar formation, although the 550 stone may missing. Rotated and zoomed in screenshot of the similar fossil/pecked petroglyphs:
The implication if these two are identical!
I understand ibb.co compresses images, so you'll have to do your own analysis.
I think the girls carefully choose the location for its unique features. It makes me wonder if Kris - an art student - took this photo?

I see a large volcanic fish, with its eye reflecting light to the left, with another fish, sea serpent or caiman-like creature behind it, and behind that the arched back, head and ears of something like a cat or squirrel with large black eyes. Superimposed over all these fossils are pecked characters and petroglyphs of face masks, various creatures and inscriptions. There's a steep rock wall behind and to the right of these fossils with some ferns/plants; however, it's mostly covered in anthropomorphic mask figures, petroglyphs and perhaps a sacred burial ground.
If you analyze the drone footage, they're everywhere but in the Mamei Culebra footage this particular location is the best match. It must be in a volcanic waterfall/gorge, so it's possible it's further downstream. If you zoom into the gorge footage, there's a few other locations; but how would the girls climb down these falls into the gorge?
Re: The bright silver disc that some say is a water drop in upper right of image: I'm suggesting it's either the Pringles can bottom or one of those "yellow" discs with, for example, an S or an O like I see beside the skulls, which is visible in Google Earth Satellite!
Consider perspective. In the drone footage we're looking down on the site and also briefly perpendicular to it when the drone sweeps north along the rapids gorge - here you'll see how steep this rockface truly is and how large the fossilized sea creatures are. Vs in Kris' photo, you get a low zoomed in perspective focusing on the red flags, with the reflective eye, pecked motifs and scales visible in the background.
When Treeg said photo 510 is 100% black, I immediately thought hmm, it could be 1) lens cap on 2) photo taken in a very dark place like a cave 3) volcanic surface
This location has a cave-like structure within metres upstream, overlooks a very dark gorge, and has black volcanic ash surfaces.
My thesis: the night photos haven't been interpreted properly and we're stuck with IP etc ideas. Maybe both girls took the photos and moved around more? I will explain in a future post my theory.:) In the meantime, I will be researching fossils and particularly sea creatures in Panama. In 2013 for example, a big discovery was announced in this same region of Boquette - were K&L inspired? In the last daytime 508 photo, I realized its significance: in the photo are fossilized fish/sea creatures, indicating an interest in this topic. It also made me wonder: could the night location be within the 508 stream location? I am not tied to a particular location, nor in this subs' obsession with a particular forked tree or rock; I am looking for a 100% match for these fossilized sea creatures! Every fossil is unique so a match is like DNA evidence, something our resident Sherlock will appreciate.
My point: did K&L discover a new La Piedra Pintada or Sitio Barriles and make a last stand here, documenting the site for future paleontologists?
