A small granary tucked underneath a low alcove in the Doll House area of Canyonlands National Park. I hiked to this one in the spring when I spent a few days in the Maze. I think this one looked much better in black and white.

Horseshoe Gallery Detail
Here’s a closer look at some of the figures in the Horseshoe Gallery found within Horseshoe Canyon in Canyonlands National Park. The dog-like figure on the left is very interesting with toes painted on each foot. There are also plenty of handprint ‘designs’ found among the larger figures, too. I’m really hoping to make it back to Horseshoe Canyon in October to visit the sites found there again.
Cat Man
Let’s go back to a pictograph I took a photo of last weekend in the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park. This figure is probably one of the most unique out of all of the figures at the Flying Carpet Panel. The interior designs on the torso are very interesting, and while this particular anthropomorph is probably not a cat, the head on this sure reminds me of one. It looks like there might even be a snake over it’s head, or maybe that’s just an arc?
Grabens Panelramic
Here’s something a little different- my first panoramic, or should I say panelramic photo that I have posted on the blog. I knew before visiting this panel that it was going to be a tough one to photograph, and it was. There are some very unique anthropomorphs found in this Barrier Canyon Style panel with interesting interior designs. This is my first attempt at bringing out the details in this photo. I may try a few more techniques in Photoshop to try and bring it out more when I have a chance. It’s an awesome panel that you can see had a lot of detail at one time, but unfortunately it’s just not in that good of shape anymore. Make sure to click on the photo to view a larger size on Flickr so you can get a better look at all the details here.
Peekaboo Panel
I posted a black and white version of this photo on Tuesday, but I wanted to go ahead and post a color version that shows more of this very unique panel found near Peekaboo Spring in Salt Creek Canyon. They are hard to see in this particular photo, but the white Anasazi pictographs are actually painted over a few very faint Barrier Canyon Style pictographs at this site.
