So this is the pictograph to the left of the really crisp one seen in my last post. Sadly, this one has not fared well over the centuries. The left side of it has mostly been washed away by water running down the cliff face. I enhanced this one quite a bit so we could see some of the detail. When it was fresh, I think this one would have really been spectacular! It has many more elements to it than the last one I posted.

Ink rendition of the left panel.
Projected transparency, blueprint scale scanner, prints 8.5 x 11 at about 300 dpi.
My impression, the mud covers the pictographs.

There are single hair painted miniature pictographs, quite astonishing to see, surviving in the region near some of the most dynamic panels of immense figures.

Likewise, my Glyphmobile wasn't able to drive in to Maze Overlook. I hiked in from the NW (see 38.2244, -110.0898) and climbed down from the overlook (take rope). To see more pictographs I hiked a loop, hiking out via Horse Canyon to my water stash cairn along the road. It was a three day adventure and I was very thirsty after climbing back up to the van on Panorama Point Way.

The type site for Barrier Canyon Style is Barrier Canyon (aka Horseshoe Canyon), a detached unit of Canyonlands NP.
Easy hike down a trail with perfectly camouflaged rattlesnakes. Very long dirt drive in from and I've had to fill road washouts to get there.

A close crop of an earlier post from a couple of weeks ago. Also, since I'm on my home computer, I slightly enhanced it using a parametric mask in Darktable to reveal a bit more detail.

Again, a small file and an old slide scan. I do have the original transparencies from a year of field work spread over a decade before 1994.

The fact that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’s wife was one of the organizers of Donald Trump’s armed insurrection should be mentioned every time SCOTUS is in the news, IMHO.

The fact that three current Supremes were involved in stealing Al Gore's election tells us a lot about how you get nominated for the court by a Republican president.

The mudflow to the left is apparent in this frame. In the 80s I placed an 8X10 print of this Sinbad panel in U of UT library special collections. Good rock art collection there.

I have visited this ruin, that sits on the rimrock of a small canyon, several times and there is usually a raven perched on top. I love how the raven's mournful croak rides on a lonely wind that hauntingly echoes down the canyon as if searching for a sign of the long lost tribes who once lived there. (Four Corners area, 4/26/20215.)

Indeed, the Hovenweep ravens love that high wall perch on the Castle ruin. I waited patiently to catch a shadow too, while enjoying their cawing.

I think I finally landed on an image to print for that large dark brown frame with light yellow-gold highlights and a Native motif that I have. This was dawn breaking at my campsite after a very rainy night in SE Utah (10/20/2018).

@elaterite
Might this be Castle Butte, in Valley of the Gods, , near Mexican Hat and Bluff? That's near a favorite campsite, the Goosenecks Overview atop Moki Dugway, a place called Muley Point. Watching sunrise there over Monument Valley, you can see the earth turn.

I have to read a paper by someone who is super into Continental philosophy and never writes anything without creating at least one new theoretical term with a very vague empirical referent. They like to put this term in the book's or paper's title. Similarly airy terms from kindred writers are also enthusiastically cited throughout. Let's see if I can get through this thing today.

I created a new word special for use in a paper just to see if my professor read my assignment and noticed the word.
The Cannibalism Paradigm: Assessing Contact Period Ethnohistorical Discourse.

"Anthropophagophobia (verb. nov., fear of being cannibalized) is commonly seen in the accounts of explorers."

Happy . Our record last winter provided this unique view of Fisher Covered Bridge but not one tourist saw it, the road was covered in fallen trees for days. Feel free to use the image.

I have a chapter in Jungle-tastic Tales about how pre-Columbian societies in the Amazon were more complex and larger than previously thought.

Here's a new article about it:

"The vast network of interconnected settlements shows that the Amazon was much more populated during the pre-Columbian era than previously suspected".

What's a book that taught you something incredible?

Early morning scent of these caught me by surprise as I walked by. The pollinators were busily buzzing about.

Some Rudbeckia in my friend's garden. This variety appears to be a self-seeding annual since its location, flower color variations, and numbers vary from year to year. I'm a huge fan. I've tried to establish it in my garden using seeds from his plants but no luck so far. Have to try again next year 🤞.

I have them in the , found seeds labeled Gloriosa daisy. They do self seed well and grow as a bi-annual, producing larger plants the second year. I've transplanted the volunteers and second year plants early in the spring with success.

This young fawn was a new visitor to the yard this morning. The tame two-year-old doe allowed me to get close and even touched her nose to my hand. The fawn was a bit wobbly but also quite active.

That young fawn has really grown over the summer, and doe and her fawn were in the front yard in full sunlight. The alert ears are due to the cats nearby.
