Heartburn

Went up to the Moab area last Sunday to do some canyon hiking....along with hundreds (or more) of others. 'Tis the season...

This ancient Barrier Canyon style pictograph is called Intestine Man for obvious reasons. How I would love to know what was on the artist's mind as he painted these figures high upon the sandstone cliff!

Extreme compression isn't doing this any favors.

I know what was on the artist's mind when he did this. Peyote!

What a fine example of rock art, John. I'm also intrigued by the winged guy on the right. I love the b&w treatment, too.

Seem to be some kind of bug people. The B&W conversion is really good, John.

This is an exceptional pictograph, John. Would love to see this in person some time. Black and white was a great choice here.

John, the B&W conversion is perfect for this in my opinion! I love how it makes the artwork standout against the rock face.

I like the BW presentation, John. What a wonderful pictograph.

BW looks great! Like the detail in the drawings as well.

As others have said, the B&W conversion is very well done. It help to bring out the very interesting pictograph and texture in the rocks. Feels a little tight on the top to me where the ??? trees, people, whatever ??? is located. Would have liked just that smidgen more, but that is a small nit.

Strange pictograph. Would like to see it sometimes. LIked the details that came out.

Great shot, John! Those are so well preserved, there's lots of great detail.

Neat panel. The black and white treatment does it justice and is more effective that the real color of the panel...Joe.

Barrier Canyon pictographs are sure bizarre. I agree with Todd...peyote or datura on the brain.
Excellent photo as everyone else said.
