This image is from Newspaper Rock in Canyonlands. I am always fascinated by the pictographs and petroglyphs. Comments welcome.

Nicely rendered, Chet. There a wonderful glow to this. I always think that these represent the artistic tendency of the all humans. We always find a way to created something uniquely beautiful.

Chet, I really like this. I guess the old with the new is what is there these days. Too bad the graffiti types just could not leave well enough alone. The original stuff is gorgeous to look at and try and understand the objects. Very nice take on the scene overall. :cool:

Chet, Very nice work on this capture. What interesting shapes and figures these are, and the light, color and textures are wonderful. It is a real shame about the graffiti, some people just don't get it!

Nice light and framing. Would be great hanging in a cabin/lodge somewhere.
