i don’t know if i can find words to express what i felt when i saw these petroglyphs on this huge rock in moab last month… it is beyond fascinating to me.
notice the 6 toes on the right??!!
i’m sure i learned about this stuff in science class, but i was just blown away to see it in person!
so fascinating……….
what were they trying to say?!?!………….
what do you all think about this kind of thing?! does it blow your mind like it does for me?!
😀
during my trip through moab last month, i met some really cool strangers. well now, that’s a funny thing to say – i guess if i “met” them, then they technically weren’t “strangers” …
anyway, it’s kind of a funny story but basically we woke up one morning and these 5 dudes were sleeping in the camp we set up. it was a little bizarre at first, until we got to talking to them… turns out, they were acrobats. traveling acrobats… from france. i’m not even kidding. they are certainly an adventurous crew!
to sum it up – they were creating a documentary style film about their {incredible} travels throughout the US. they started in NYC {awesome!} and had planned to go to colorado after their stop in moab… and on this particular morning, they were going base jumping just a short walk from where we had camped. my camera and i were all over that. unfortunately, i only brought one lense and it doesn’t really capture the whole thing in the way i would’ve preferred, but i think you’ll get the idea…
huge cliffs… i would say it is 400 feet? maybe a little less…
can you spot the tiny little people up there?! it probably took them an hour and a half to reach the top…
crazy clouds, little peeps…
one of them yells…
and fearlessly runs and plunges full spread-eagle right off the cliff… do you see him? he is not airborne long before needing to pull the chute-cord….
and it safely opens, and he lands to the ground…. {*whew*} Continue reading
this place is just so cool… there is so much ENERGY in moab! i can’t think of what else to say…
the famous balanced rock…
and arches everywhere…
also lots of phallic shapes everywhere… i know you were thinking it – everyone does. Continue reading
i had the privilege of taking a little vacation to moab last week. i was desperate for a getaway. when i found out moab was only 3 hours from where i lived, i was super excited to visit. of course, after my accident in december last year, i haven’t been able to do much traveling or road-tripping like i like to do. thankfully, i met someone recently who has a similar love for the great outdoors and for adventures on wheels, and we were able to take enjoy a little getaway together…
the first stop was actually near the colorado/utah border, but i’m saving those pics for another time. i just wanna get right to sharing the images from moab.

drive-by {foto} shooting 😉
i so wish i would’ve had a sticker to slap on there…
“castle valley”
the landscape in moab looks so awesome in black and white… but the colours are also so bright and vivid. we arrived to our first camp-spot just before sunset. the light from the evening sun casts the most glorious glow all over the rocks. we had a mix of clouds during the time the sun was going down, but i can only imagine how that place lights up with full sun…
i can’t decide if i prefer the B&W images or the colour. what do you think?
