This is a very strange panel of prehistoric pictographs. All the images are quite small at 8 to 15 centimeters tall. There is an amazing amount of detail in some of them. According to what I understand the motifs are very different from anything else in Utah or possibly the country. Several of the images can be interpreted as having heads with open mouths and large teeth displayed. One might even believe they resemble a snarling dinosaur (personal conjecture). I think the general feeling is they are extremely old (Possibly the oldest art in the region). It is interesting that this art is located in a shelter with a fossil array that has been identified as the back region of an Ankylosaur. This apparently dates the rock unit as Cretaceous.
The "main-core"-Backbone from front-view.
Here you see the amazing (ironic...) cable installation better as on
the following picture...
C.I.E 001 Class locomotive Moyasta Co. Clare.
The 001 Class locomotive was the backbone of mainline passenger and freight train services on the Irish railway network for forty years from 1955 until the mid-1990s
They were fitted with metro vickers motors at first and later they were re-fitted with the GM motor
Nice rock formations. Winter hike just seven minutes from my home in Loveland Colorado. Nice trail on way to Rocky Mountain National Park.
Longji Rice Terraces in Guangxi, China. Captured in April, right before the floating of the terraces starts and turns them into beautiful mirrors.
Inexhaustible. The strength of fire, is running through me. Spine like beam of light. What mortal could ever break this force? Unconstrained. - Gojira

The area once was frequented by Arapaho, Cheyenne and Ute Indian tribes. In 1888 Aaron Benson built an irrigation ditch south of the Backbone servicing 12,000 acres of farmland. It became known as the Louden Ditch and is still used to bring water to Larimer County farms. Alfred Wild found fire clay on his land in 1924 and built kilns to manufacture bricks. Benches for hikers to rest along the open space’s trails were recently built from remaining bricks found on the property.

Utah has a place called Hells Backbone. Utah's is on the map. Idaho's is disguised as Franklin Basin.
Franklin Basin road for about %90 is a real good dirt road.
The last couple miles is where my name for it comes from.
This picture was taken when Lynette got out to move a watermelon size boulder out of the way. When she looked the road over, she just cried.
We had already driven quite a distance of the road just like this. We were going downhill. Not sure if we could have turned around & went back up.
First time I drove this rd in my 71 Chev truck.
Sometime in the 90s we rode the ATVs on this rd,
I won't be back until 2071

And this was a civilization
That came to nothing--he spurned with his toe
The slave-coloured dust. We breathed it in
Thankfully, oxygen to our culture.
Somebody found a curved bone
In the ruins. A kings probably,
He said. Imperfect courtiers
We eyed it, the dropped kerchief of time.

As the sky was so naff and the light so harsh on this particular evening during our recent trip, I thought I'd try a Mono conversion. I like the way that 'Batman' appears for this one..... Or is it Paul?
Best seen large or in My Flickeflu (Click the link below). Thanks again for looking.
