Rock Art and Ruins

The pictures above are of a ruin I have came across while hiking.  I keep my distance from these places out of respect. The Ruin is found about twenty miles from Escalante UT.

Over the past years I have gone all over the places on the desert surrounding my home here in Cedar City, UT. This section is on just a little bit about the Rock art I have come across.

The Desert is my home. It is a country still lurking in the past. It is a place of beauty and rugged sandstone canyons and red rock country. The night I took this picture, a huge thunderstorm was developing. This was home to the Ancient People who lived here long ago. The Navajo called them the Anazasi. It is believed that the Hopi and other Pueblo people today are the descendants of these ancient people.

Here is a similar picture.  I go to vanish from the everyday civilization. I have seen things that are so beautiful, that they are quiet places of the Earth that still speak of the past. I do not tell people where these places are. There is a lot still untouched and I plan on  keeping  it that way. The desert of the Southwest once belonged to the Indigenous People it is a stolen land.
