Photo taken west of Castle Dale, Utah, in the San Rafael Swell.
The pictorgraph panel here is over 100 feet long--click here to see that - www.flickr.com/photos/minnesotaphotography/26898163677/in....
This is a detail of a part of the panel - I adjusted the contrast a bit so that it can be seen a bit. Here is a bit of info on these pictographs from "Atlas Obscura:"
Buckhorn Wash is near the northwestern corner of the swell, one of the more accessible parts of the region. Its rock panels contain figures drawn in red ochre, believed to have been first created by people using the Barrier Canyon Style that flourished between 1,500 and 4,000 years ago.
This group of hunter-gatherers were nomadic and probably spent part of the year in the region. The geography rendered it difficult for travelers to safely navigate the area; therefore, some historians believe the figures were painted as part of a ritual. According to this line of thought, people created the images to pray for safety before entering a dangerous stretch of terrain and to give thanks after successfully navigating it.
Researchers have divided the figures drawn on the wall into a mixture of citizens or hominid figures, composite creatures that have characteristics of humans and animals, and spirits who have the features of humans but also show abnormalities like horns, huge eyes, or a lack of limbs. Animals like snakes, dogs, and birds are also featured.
In some cases, the original art was painted over by the Fremont people who also inhabited the swell until around 1,000 years ago. They weren’t the only ones to damage and vandalize the old artwork. The corridor was a part of the Old Spanish Trail, a trade route between New Mexico and parts of California, which led to further degradation. Local authorities partially restored the surviving images in 1996.

Val's Rapid Serv in St. Cloud, Minnesota
17x22 inches, ready to be shipped inquire with me for more details.
Sitting in an empty lot across from the Metro Transit Instruction Center in Minneapolis, these buses were retired, more than likely after the 2016 Minnesota State Fair.
These buses has long since been removed from the land they were sitting on.

Photo taken near Chisago, MN. We went up to see the hot air balloons at the "Celebration of the Lakes" festival, but ended up touring the area and driving on a few local lakes instead.
Almost didn't leave camp on this morning because it was so cold and windy outside. I'm glad I did though. When the sun peeked out from over Lake Superior, its warm rays felt incredible.
Taken from a vantage point from the bluffs high above the city of Winona, Minnesota. Hopefully the trees in this photo will soon have leaves!
Photo taken in early April, 2018--it is an image comprised of 5 photos, stitched together into a panorama. This is a closeup of a section of this huge panel (you can see most of it here at www.flickr.com/photos/minnesotaphotography/40796586844/in...).
From www.americansouthwest.net: Formerly a state park, Newspaper Rock is now designated a State Historical Monument, and is situated along the relatively well-traveled access road into the Needles district of Canyonlands National Park, 12 miles from US 191 and 30 miles from the park boundary. Since December 2016, this area is part of Bears Ears National Monument. The 200 square foot rock is a part of the vertical Wingate sandstone cliffs that enclose the upper end of Indian Creek Canyon, and is covered by hundreds of ancient Indian petroglyphs (rock carvings) - one of the largest, best preserved and easily accessed groups in the Southwest. The petroglyphs have a mixture of human, animal, material and abstract forms, and to date no-one has been able to fully interpret their meaning.
This is the pictograph site on North Hegman Lake in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) in northern Minnesota. The pictographs themselves are located on the face of the rock--a bit difficult to see from here. Here is a slightly closer view: www.flickr.com/photos/minnesotaphotography/31981549238/in...
Photo taken during a canoe trip on North and South Hegman Lakes in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. The lakes are accessed via the Echo Trail, and are about 15 or so miles north of Ely, MN. Here is a bit of info on these particular pictographs from the Quetico Superior Wilderness News, located at queticosuperior.org/blog:
"The figures include a bull moose, another four legged animal, several canoes and a maymayguayshi spirit-man; a series of horizontal lines joined with a painted cross to tower above the other figures.
Natives have occupied this area for nearly 9,000 years. These particular pictographs are believed to be 500-1,000 years old. Their symbols give us clues to the traditions, legends, and values of the Ojibway people; their paintings confirm their close tie to their natural surroundings and their animal “brothers”.
The early Indians created the red ochre paint by mixing iron hematite with boiled sturgeon spine and bear grease to depict their stories on the stone canvas. Some of these images are thought to be influenced by vision quests which show important spiritual insights. Perhaps they were painted by Midewewin priests of shamans, those connected to Ojibway religious beliefs. On the other hand, they might tell stories about historical events or point directions like symbols on a map.
Several researchers have offered theories behind the Native American artwork. Michael Furtman in his book Magic on the Rocks
compares the moose on Hegman to the paintings on Darky Lake in Quetico and suggests that they might have been painted by the same artist. The author also sees the panel as relating to the Ojibway story-legend of Nanabush, the four legged animal representing a wolf which is hunting the moose. Carl Gawboy, professor at the College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, offers another suggestion about the Hegman pictographs. The professor of Indian studies links them to the constellations and compares the image of the ‘spirit man’ to the star grouping in Orion. The Ojibway might see him as “Wintermaker” as he appears in the eastern sky during the coming of cold weather. The seven short horizontal lines just above the larger figure might represent Pleiades while the moose could be Pegasus and the four legged animal may well denote Leo the lion. He completes the correlation by comparing the canoes to the Milky Way of the “River of Souls” in the Indian tradition. Gawboy surmises that the cross could represent the star Capella.
All of these constellations are normally observed in the winter sky, a time when the rock wall would have been more accessible to the artist from the ice-covered lake surface. Native American people celebrated the winter season as a time for hunting and storytelling."
This is the same image as www.flickr.com/photos/minnesotaphotography/28837292017/in..., but I've changed it to black and white and increased the contrast in order to better see the petroglyphs.
This was taken on Lake Phalen--as you can see, kind of an odd bike race on the ice. The race was part of the St. Paul Winter Carnival.
Taken on a cold, very cold, Minnesota night. As mentioned in the title, the background is Saint Paul. Luckily, had a full moon as well as a favorable wind for the smoke stacks.
A long exposure (approximately 30 seconds), taken in front of the 1st National Bank Building in Saint Paul, MN. Taken on another cold January evening.

Camp on Caribou Lake at Night, (Boundary Waters, BWCAW) www.gardnerphotos.com
Here is our tent at twilight on Caribou Lake in the Boundary Waters. The tent was lit up by a couple of candle lanterns. It was a nice summer evening at the time of this photo, but in the middle of the night the wind changed and fall arrived with a bit of a soaker.

This was the end of a very busy and beautiful day. I shot family portraits and baby pics in the afternoon, followed by blueberry picking in Beltrami Island State Forest; a swim in Hayes Lake; then a gorgeous sunset on one side of the road and full moon rising on the other. My day, July 25, 2010.
Northern Moonrise on the other side of the road a few minutes later...
