Aldridge Petroglyph Panel

No doubt an archaeologist would disagree, quite possibly for good reason — but in my eyes, this is one of the best petroglyph panels I’ve ever seen. It’s not that there are so many petroglyphs, or even that I understand what they mean — it’s just that, visually, they look so great on the rock with its mix of colors.

Near La Ventana

In an odd coincidence, the very first photo on this iteration of New Mexico Photo Journal — three years ago today — was also of La Ventana, south of Grants.

The first iteration of the New Mexico Photo Journal is still online, courtesy of Blogger.

Aldridge Equinox Petroglyph

A mid-day shadow bisects a square spiral three days before the vernal equinox. It’s part of the Aldridge Petroglyph panel in the Cebolla Wilderness. It was a great privilege to be able to witness this event.
