A favorite rock imagery site of mine for unsaturated Saturday!

#VisitWithRespect #UnsaturatedSaturday #MonoChrome #BlackAndWhite #Clouds #Archeology #Travel #RoadTrip #Photography #Darktable

A black and white landscape photo of rock imagery on a very dark desert vanish background. There are seven figures pecked into the flat rock face. The figures are light colored against the natural dark vanish of the rock. The main figure on the right looks like a person with flipper feet and a duck for a head. To the lower left is a smaller image similar to the large one on the right except this one also has a small four legged animal near its right shoulder. Further to the left is an oval with short legs and another duck looking head. Above that is a horizontal squiggle line. And on the far left is possibly the image of a centipede. (Note: I only describe these images in terms that my modern eye sees them. To the person, man, woman, or child, who drew them they very likely had entirely different representations and meanings. These images are likely 800 - 1,000 years old and none of us are of the culture that made them so what they are and what they mean is now lost to time. Also, the term "rock imagery" is preferred by the local tribes to "rock art" since not even they know the meaning or purpose of their ancestor's anicent petroglyphs and pictographs. Referring to the images as "art" is therefore considered disrespectful.)

This is a very unusual rock image.

#VisitWithRespect #Archeology #Desert #Canyon #Travel #RoadTrip #Photography #Darktable

A color portrait photo of rock imagery pecked into a canyon wall. The canyon wall is mostly covered in dark patina but someone hundreds of years ago literally pecked the image of (perhaps) a person with their arms extended and pointing downward and their legs spread wide and similarly pointing downward in a ninety degree fashion. The pecking created a salt and pepper look in the figure's body. The head has eyes and a mouth and prominent ears sticking out. (Note: I only describe the image as they are regarded in modern culture for the benefit of those with limited or no vision. Generally, it is not recommended in Visit With Respect guidelines, established by local Natives, to imbue any meaning upon ancient rock images as we are not of the culture that made them.)

Nice little rock imagery panel!

#VisitWithRespect #Archeology #Travel #RoadTrip #Arizona #Photography #Darktable

A color portrait photo of a rock imagery panel. The images are carved into a vertical beige colored sandstone rock face that has a very dark desert varnish patina, so the images are light colored and the background is dark. They are a group of overlapping anthropomorphs, each with strange heads or headdresses that have elements that look like horns, feathers, and earrings. (Note: I only describe the images in terms that my modern eye sees them for the benefit of those with limited or no vision. Generally, it is not recommended in Visit With Respect guidelines, established by local Natives, to imbue any meaning upon ancient rock images as we are not of the culture that made them.)
