So this is the pictograph to the left of the really crisp one seen in my last post. Sadly, this one has not fared well over the centuries. The left side of it has mostly been washed away by water running down the cliff face. I enhanced this one quite a bit so we could see some of the detail. When it was fresh, I think this one would have really been spectacular! It has many more elements to it than the last one I posted.

Ink rendition of the left panel.
Projected transparency, blueprint scale scanner, prints 8.5 x 11 at about 300 dpi.
My impression, the mud covers the pictographs. #RockArt#Pictographs #Utah#Archaeology#Art
A close crop of an earlier post from a couple of weeks ago. Also, since I'm on my home computer, I slightly enhanced it using a parametric mask in Darktable to reveal a bit more detail.
#opcOnThisDay in 2018, I brought my dad and his then-girlfriend on a trip through Utah. We stopped at a number of archeology sites on BLM land, including a major petroglyph site, a kiva site, and two other ruin sites. ☀️ #archaeology#utah#ancentralpuebloans#rockart#petroglyphs
Nice! Using parametric masks in Darktable I was able to enhance the extremely faded green pictographs in this panel! Green is a very rare color to see in Utah Four Corners area pictographs.
Nice pictograph and hand print I found hiking canyons in Utah the other day. (Note: I enhanced the saturation a bit in Darktable using parametric masks. The original is quite faded, sadly.)
