Paul Sure hope you get up to China Lake and see the Petroglyphs there one day. Well worth the trip. You might need proof of citizenship, maybe check before going?

In reply to ((hummus)).

Thank you.

The true answer behind the symbolism or depictions is “We don’t know.” Even people descended from the cultural traditions often have different interpretations…all of which may be correct of course depending on the viewpoint.

great collection, love seeing these flicks of americas original graffers. really makes me wanna explore the southwest and see some in person. i wish we could learn more about their symbolism and meaning, there definitely seems to be a couple of themes strongly represented throughout the images.

Thanks for sharing! Getting ready to head out this weekend from the Front Range to spend a week around Comb Ridge for my annual spring break trip. I will be keeping my eyes open even wider this year for rock art. We will wave at/towards you as we pass through Moab on our way there.

In reply to dgray. Wow. Thanks for the kind words. Joan and I always wonder if these images be as accessible in the near future?

This is a great collection of rock art images you’ve taken over the years, Paul. I’ve seen a handful of them in person and hope to continue to see more. Thanks for sharing them.
Can I mention Nat Geo’s Stephen Alvarez at “Ancient Art Archive” over on Instagram for lovers of rock art who want to see more? He is spearheading an effort to record a database of this art to preserve these images as they are increasingly threatened and access is often limited. A large portion of his postings are from the Southwest US. Some of his pictures are as good as yours!
