Artist's Comments

I'm sure most people will skip right past this one, but I find these types of things fascinating.

Petroglyphs adorn this large red rock boulder not far outside of Moab, Utah. Note the birthing scene in the upper left.

around 1000-1500 years ago or somewhere around there... the rock art in moab is cool, because the same scenes were altered over time by different peoples over thousands of years. This one boulder had examples from a few different groups.

But First, on earth as Vampire Sent,
Thy Corpse shall from the Tomb be rent;
Then ghastly Haunt Thy native place,
And suck the blood, of all Thy Race.

I would never "skip right past" a good shot of petroglyphs. Nice and very unique shot of an unusual drawing on stone

Are you kidding? I love these. I'm always taking the time to try to "decode" the glyphs that I find around here.

I think these pieces are amazing, a link back through history

Life is mostly froth and bubble;
Two things stand like stone:
Kindness in another's trouble,
Courage in our own. - Adam Gordon (1833-1870)

That's a very primitive form of art, I like it. Good work on the photograph as well.
