Well, it was a day to remember. Lots of stupid stuff happened, but some good to offset it. I decided to go to the Procession Panel today. I had it in my mind to do a panorama of the whole glyph. That is, take three or four images and merge them together. I haven’t seen [...]

I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time and finally got to Monument Valley. We took a day-long trip through both Monument Valley and Mystery Valley.

Well, they look like ghosts. They’re the Barrier Canyon pictographs.

Nobody really knows what these pictographs are [...]
