Sego Canyon Pictographs
This image shows another of my passions….Rock Art! This huge panel is in Sego Canyon, Utah and is made up of Pictographs which are painted on instead of being etched out as Petroglyphs are. Lucky for us the dyes last so long. I added contrast using Photoshop which makes the art more visible.

Oooh, love this photo, love the subject matter. Have you been to Valley of Fire State Park outside Las Vegas? Amazing petroglyphs there (not pictographs) that you would really enjoy. I like the ethereal quality of your pictographs — more “cave painterly” than petroglyphs. –Carol Leigh
I’m happy you liked it Carol! Yes…I knew about the glyphs at Valley of Fire but have never been. I went to PSWorld a few years in a row but could never talk anyone into going out there with me. They’re on my list, though! The majority of my rock art images are from Utah because there are so many sites but mostly because Utah is such a great recreation state. Great for RV road trips!
Love it! One of my favorite places. As we speak I’m looking at my photo poster of that “bug-eyed” guy.
