I visited this petroglyph site along the Colorado River near Moab just before sunset after a long day of exploring ruins and rock art. The low angle of the sun seemed to strike this panel perfectly giving off a nice orange glow. The most prominent part of this panel that stands out the most to me is the vertical line of tracks that seem to travel down the smooth sandstone surface. There are also your typical bighorn sheep petroglyphs and some snake-like figures on the lower left.

Circles and Stripes
A unique perspective of a concentric circles petroglyph found in Mule Canyon. While exploring the ruins and rock are in this particular alcove I happened to notice the light was reflecting onto the top portion of the large alcove creating a nice glow and enhancing the dark stripes above. I then framed this petroglyph so that I was able to capture part of the glowing ceiling in the top right portion of the frame. I’m very happy with the result.
