A different perspective of the beautiful Barrier Canyon Style pictographs in the Ochre Alcove, also known as the Transformation Panel. This is certainly one of my favorite pictograph panels around. Many of the figures painted here are all pretty small compared to other Barrier Canyon Style panels, but the details are just amazing! I could just sit here all day and stare at this panel.
I’ve been anticipating the Summer Solstice this year so that I could visit the Solstice Snake (aka Solar Snake or Hyper Viper) and watch the arrowhead of light appear on the snake’s head. For about two minutes on the summer solstice a dagger of light shaped like an arrowhead appears on the head of this very large and well executed petroglyph of a snake near Moab. It was an amazing experience! I spent much of the beginning of the year researching this petroglyph and searching for it. Once I found it, it was just a matter of waiting for the short window of time to get this image. My time and efforts seem to have payed off!
