January 11th, 2012

 

Hello, everyone. These are my favorite 20 images from the past year in no particular order. Traveling all over the west was great and I enjoyed every minute. Thanks to those who came along for the ride.

Traveled to multiple places I had never been to before. Some secret locations very few people know about on this planet. Met Randy Langstraat for the first time. We hunted down the Barnes Panel and High Alcove Panel. It was fun.

High Alcove Panel

The grooves carved in this piece of rock art add to the overall greatness.

 

The Quail Panel is located in a very remote place cannot disclose. It is difficult to find even when you know exactly where it should be located. I tried to photograph it a little differently.

The Quail Panel

The Quail Panel is one of my favorites.

 

Storms rolled by the Ferron, Utah area with nice clouds and light. So, I decided to focus on getting a good black and white landscape. I think I succeeded.

This fence line caught my eye. It had a very strong graphic quality to it.

Over Memorial Day weekend, me, my wife and her parents visited multiple sites near Blanding, Utah. During this trip, I revisited Cave 7 to get some quality photography time. Also, we visited the Doll House Ruin, Fallen Roof Ruin, Honeycomb Granary and a large crane petroglyph. The Big Crane petroglyph was one that I had been wanting to see for a long time. Rick Schafer shared this one with me.

 

The Doll House ruin is very remote and difficult to find. But, this keeps it in amazing shape.

This last weekend, I traveled around the Book Cliffs of Utah. On my journey I visited two rock art panels and the town of Cisco, Utah which is nearly a ghost town now. Also, my travels took me to an old missile base near Green River and finally I explored the Kaiser Mine bath house just outside of Sunnyside, Utah. All of these places were great.

 

My first visit was to owl pictograph that I had seen in some rock art books.
