Amazing photos — do we know who the people were who made the petroglyphs? The faces are very cheerful compared to others I’ve seen pictures of.
There was a debate if the petroglyphs here are authentic or recently done (ie., fake). I think they’re authentic. The Pueblo people lived here, and these are common symbols. Probably each artist had their own style.
Oh, yeah, and I agree–they do look cheerful!
Lovely! You need to make up a book of pictures and poetry! Looks like you’ve got some nice quartz there,too.
If the mica were gold, you’d be rich! Amazing how chunky and glittery it is! I’m having flashbacks to my childhood, hiking in those same places ; )
I love the contrast between soft and hard, bright and soft, fleeting and eternal. You are poeticizing (if there is such a word) with visual images rather than word painting.
