Standing out in the middle of no where at night in the presence of ancient petroglyphs unleashes ones imagination in more than one way. When not thinking about what wild life could be sneaking up on me (cougars, coyotes, mice… as it turns out mostly mice) my mind wandered to the source of inspiration for these ancient drawings. Was the person(s) that made these drawing bored, doodling, documenting, ancient life or gathering inspiration from the night sky? I personally made the connection between the circles & spirals on this rock with the movement of the stars. Looking back at my photos from this night my curiosity again is piqued. I suppose the fact no one has a firm answer is what makes these petroglyphs so attractive & intriguing. What do you think?
