We've just been away for a few days in the Blue Mountains, staying at the lovely Hydro Majestic Hotel in Medlow Bath. One part of the hotel is a long lounge area called Cat's Alley:
This area is decorated by a series of paintings of hunting scenes, which just screamed 'Palaeo Diet' at me. So I took photos of them all to share here.
The paintings were by Arnold Zimmerman, a Swiss emigre. In the 1930s he oversaw the redesign of the hotel's ballroom, and was commissioned to do a series of artworks to hang around the area. Some time afterwards they were moved to Cat's Alley.
Unfortunately due to the lighting in the Alley they weren't easy to photograph; there were either awkward shadows or annoying reflections. However I hope you find them interesting. You can click on them to enlarge them
This first one shows that there's room in Palaeo Diet for some rules for mounted hunters.

But most of the scenes could be recreated using the rules as written.
This one might be fun with various cliffs which the beasts can cross but not the hunters.
This picture shows all three types of hunter.
More evidence that we need rules for mounted hunters.
And again.
One for Palaeo Diet: Pulp.
And one straight out of the game - two hunters with axe/club vs an Apex Predator.
This final picture was in a side-passage opposite a mirror, and was easier to photograph as a reflection
The hotel is well worth a look if you're passing through the Blue Mountains.
Unusual decor - but I rather like it .
