History and scenery combined.

Palatki

sorta off the grid, but so worth the trip.

 The setting is at the edge of the rim with enormous cliffs of red rock.

 For the most part the art in this site was painted 'pictograph' as opposed to the chipped/chiseled petroglyphs - Still wonderful if not always comprehensible.

I have learned to photograph signs; it keeps things simpler later.

 a piece of what was once above.

 Most work here was around 1100, but this one was at least 500 years later when horses were here.

 perhaps a calendar of some sort.

Remains of one of the structures

and the part I like the most.

Considered by the Hopi to be an entrance to another world, it really speaks to me,

Note how you can see light coming through.

And almost finally, Archaeologists, or some of them attribute this to the Clovis people who were in this area a very long time ago. 

Finally, spring.  

Coming to you, hopefully soon.
