Two pictographs of a three-tailed comet from Dead Horse Point area
Hey, speaking of comets, take a look at these photos I took a few years back when I was wandering around the Dead Horse Point area. The first set is from 7-Mile Wash, the second from Hell Roaring Canyon. Something different, but astronomy-related. I propose it’s two different depictions of the same shaman and the same comet, but from two different artists, either from the same group or two different groups. Also, notice the solitary big-horn-sheep pictograph from the Hell Roaring Canyon set appears to be pregnant. Was this the artist’s way of saying this was a spring-time comet? Something fun to think about (you can make up any story you like) and it has an astronomy plot. http://www.flickr.com/photos/78046474@N06/sets Dave
Pretty cool, Dave! Makes one wonder if the shaman announced it as the "comet of the century" a year ahead of perihelion. Still, he made the cover of "Pit House & Garden" that month. On Tue, Sep 10, 2013 at 3:07 PM, Dave Gary <davegary@me.com> wrote:
