I don’t usually post photos to the blog on the weekends since I am usually out exploring, but since I happen to be home this morning for just a little bit I figured I’d post a photo I took last night on a quick evening trip to Moab. This is my second visit to the Moab Maiden at night, so I wanted to try something a little different from last time. The Big Dipper was hovering just above the horizon, so I framed a shot with the Moab Maiden just below it. There’s just something that appeals to me with this petroglyph and night photography…..so I’m sure I’ll be returning again sometime in the future.

The Twins
These two anthropomorphs, known as ‘The Twins,’ mark the end of one of the trails that leads you by many petroglyphs at the McConkie Ranch. I had visited these earlier in the day when it was completely overcast, but am glad I returned after the sun started to peek out of the clouds.
The Snake & I
How about something just a little bit different. This is the first photo posted on this blog that has a real person in it…and that person just happens to be me this time. This photo helps give a little scale to the very large Solstice Snake petroglyph and also lets you see just who this person is posting rock art photos on this little blog. This photo was taken many months before the solstice on my first visit to the great serpent.
