Nice pictograph from Utah's Four Corners region.

Color landscape photo of a pictograph. It shows four figures. (Note: I do not like interpreting rock art because I'm not of the culture that made it. Something that looks like a deer to us may have been something entirely different to the person who drew it. I feel it is cultural appropriation for modern humans to interpret rock art. Frankly, I even have a problem with using the term art for the images.) The four figures appear to our modern eyes as two elk on the left, a large long and fat bison with a small head in the middle, and a person with a bow and arrow on the right. The person is pointing the bow and arrow at the image that looks like a bison. The images are crude and drawn in a red-brown ocher paint.

A favorite canyon country ruin viewed from a unusual place. Can you find the cliff dwelling?

A black and white landscape photo of a rocky layered canyon with a prominent 'island' in the middle. It is slightly higher than the opposite canyon rim. Several rectangular windows are seen in the cliff face of the 'island' indicating a Native-American cliff dwelling. The far canyon rim is populated by shorty scrubby trees. In the center right side of the photo two prominent mesa tops are visible that look like bear's ears.
