Asians and particularly Indians can be very creative and also extremely resourceful so what better than a free leaf to use as a canvas for a bit of tourist art! On holiday in India many, many years ago we picked up a set of these delightful little paintings featuring different aspects of Indians at work.
As you can see, it’s not very big, total area about postcard size.

Newspaper Rock State Historic Monument is a Utah state monument featuring a rock panel carved with one of the largest known collections of petroglyphs.
It features a 200 square foot area of extremely dense Native American petroglyphs on a "desert varnished" cliff wall. The petroglyphs were created by several ancient cultures beginning some 1,500 years ago. The drawings consist of animals, human figures and many inexplicable symbols -- a six-toed foot?

The stylized horse and rider surrounded by bighorn sheep and dog-like animals is typical of Ute rock art, Carved sometime between A.D. 1650 and 1850.
Depictions of horses indicate these rock peckings were made after Spanish explorers arrived in North America.
Many people call it “rock art,” but "art" doesn't adequately define their importance to American Indian tribes. These images are more than mere adornments hung on the landscape. They are communications between people across time, written not with letters but with visceral, vital imagery. They could express anything one human being might want to communicate to another. (NPS)
Vasquez Rocks is near Agua Dulce, California, in the Mojave desert. There are many other paintings, whoch are much older than this one.
Matthew 12:40 “For as Jonah was in the belly of the huge fish three days and three nights, so the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.”
Human-shaped petroglyphs visible from the boardwalks along Utah Highway 24. These images were created by the Fremont Culture, who lived in this region for about 1000 years.
The Fremont Culture
Fremont and Ancestral Puebloan people began to incorporate farming into their hunter-gatherer lifestyles approximately 2,000 years ago. Petroglyph panels throughout the park depict ancient art and stories of these people who lived in the area from approximately 300-1300 Common Era (CE). Named for the Fremont River that flows through the park, evidence now shows that these people lived throughout Utah and adjacent areas of Idaho, Colorado, and Nevada.
The Fremont lived in natural rock shelters and pit houses (dug into the ground and covered with brush roofs). Their social structure was likely composed of small, loosely organized bands consisting of several families. They were closely tied to nature and flexible, making frequent modifications in their life ways as social or environmental changes occurred. (NPS)

Most people are looking at the bridge and walk right past this glyph. I only noticed it, tucked away around a corner in the cliff face, when I spotted an unusual bird in a bush right next door.
Indian Markets were a staple along Route 66 in New Mexico and Arizona, and more than a few have survived the downturn of the Route 66 economy and persist along the old route. In previous photos, some of the failed trading posts are depicted. This market is at Continental Divide, New Mexico, near Thoreau; it appears to be doing well, open at present during the pandemic The elevation here is at elevation of 7295 or 7245 feet, depending which sign you believe, and water on one side of the divide ultimate drains to the Pacific Ocean while on the other side it drains to the Atlantic.

Sketching
Sketching is one of the initial stages in the making of a Tanjore Painting. Plywood is used as the base which is covered with a fine cotton cloth by a water soluble adhesive. This will be followed by a thick coating of chalk powder or zinc oxide and Arabic gum. Base is allowed to dry well and mild abrasives are used to make a smooth base. After this, preliminary sketch is traced on to the base. Images need not be traced in detail to the board. The outline of the figure and layouts like the pillars and mandapams are enough to proceed. Details such as the ornaments and jewel are added in the next stage.
Tanjore paintings (தஞ்சாவூர் ஓவியம்) are a traditional Tamil art works that dates back to 1600 C.E. Nayaks of Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu of the bygone era were the chief patrons of this art. Tanjore paintings have a rich gold work with semiprecious / precious stones, vibrant colors, and a devotional composition. The themes of these paintings are usually limited to Hindu gods and goddesses, and saints. Bigger composition of these art works habitually includes a central figure for the core theme and episodes from Hindu mythology sprawling around that central deity. They are also referred as “palagai padam” (palagai – wood, padam – picture) as they are made in solid wooden planks.

The desert is a powerful place. For me it is a personal journey as well as an allotment of time where I get to enjoy photography in a way that is lonely and personal. I don't have to rush. I'm not chasing powder or skiers or anything at all.
