The Watchers - a photo on Flickriver

The Watchers

            One of several similar face panels in this area. Others in Horse Canyon and Salt Creek Canyons are similar and all are unique to the area and must be connected in some way. The significance may only be known by those that created them, but to me they point to a common community but, perhaps different families or different branches of the same family. Could these be ancestral or genealogical records?

This particular panel is located in Davis Canyon in Canyonlands National Park. 

Many of the rock art panels and ruins are on ledges that can be a bit scary negotiating, especially knowing that one slip may send you crashing down a 50 foot (or more) drop to the canyon floor, and in this case with nobody around to help me if I were to survive the fall. 

The feeling of your heart bumping, the adrenalin flowing, trembling legs and the uneasy feeling of vertigo while traversing the thin ledge really makes one feel very much alive.
