This busy panel of petroglyphs was probably etched into this rock by many different artists over a long period of time. While we can only speculate as to the artists' meanings, it would probably be a good guess to say that at least one of them was inspired by a rainbow. Other interesting figures would include the apparently pregnant figure on the right side beneath the rainbow. As opposed to pictographs which were "painted" onto the rock's surface, these petroglyphs were created by chipping away the darker patinated layer on the surface to reveal the lighter sandstone beneath. As with many elaborate panels such as this, these petroglyphs are located along a major travel corridor at the junction of two major canyons. This panoramic photograph was captured with a Fuji GX 617 panorama camera. All photos in these galleries may be ordered as fine art black & white framed prints or for stock photography usage.
