The Painted Hand ruin is part of the Cutthroat Castle unit of Hovenweep National Monument. Sleeping Ute Mountain is visible in the background. Sadly, this area has been closed since 2018 because a private property owner refuses to allow access through their property.

Rock art, pictographs and petroglyphs, over 1,000 years old. The faded red images are by the early Fremont people. The etched white figures were created hundreds of years later.
Sego Canyon near Moab.

Moments: Escalante Pueblo, CO, fall, 2019. If you were to just stumble upon this place with no signage to guide you, you could be forgiven for assuming you were strolling through a landscape garden - albeit one defined by a harsh bleak beauty. A sort of outlook at the end of the universe, conducive to ruminations on impermanence. Oddly, knowing the source can lead to similar ruminations. A distant people who called this place home ... gone.
