Honoring the Sunrise




These Anasazi petroglyphs are over 1,000 years old and have been seeing these sunrises since their artist witnessed the same.

Hi Dan, how do you know the scribbles are 1000 years old, and not just scribbled by some tourist last month or so?

Ted, come to think of it you are probably right, it was probably done by John Wayne or one of his buddies during the filming of one of the Westerns. I fall for all of the tourist dribble.

Dan, I like the top photo, and the star sun in the bottom one.

There's a chance that those petroglyphs are very old...but if they were nearby the hands, basketball hoop, or brontosaurus ones, I'd be a tad skeptical ;)

i didn't know that Kokopelli plays the flute while lying on his back. Or perhaps the image was flipped 90 degrees?

I also like the top image, great colors on it.

No Warren, he plays the flute while looking at the sky. One of the many images I saw that you just don't get a chance to see unless you are with the guides. The charcoal Navajo drawings depicting a battle are espcially compelling.
