presents the N I G H T S C A P E R • Photo Award to ... . @ancient_sky . The Tower ~ Anasazi-ruins, Bears Ears National Monument. Congratulations to Marc Toso. “By photographing gorgeous landscapes, ancient ruins, and mysterious petroglyphs beneath brilliant night skies I can express my appreciation of the depth of this land’s original inhabitants, the stunning beauty of the land itself, and the fathomless scale of time and space in which all of this occurs,” says Marc. || Please show support to our guest artists by visiting their IG gallery. - MORE from Marc: The night sky represents the purest form of wilderness, the vast eternity which cannot be manipulated or destroyed. The legacy of ancient cultures photographed beneath this radiant universe brings into focus how brief is humanity’s entire tenure on this planet. Photographing these elusive landscapes is a way of entering timelessness, a way of experiencing these forgotten places in their greatest context… - SPEAKER: We are excited to have Marc, one of 24 speakers, presenting at our 2020 @NightScaperConference — register now for a $100 discount, using coupon code: EARLY100 . - TECHNIQUE: Virtually all of Marc’s astro-landscape photos are single exposures. - LINKS: ancientskys.com . .

People of the Barrier Canyon culture once occupied the region of the San Rafael Swell. They left these pictographs painted on an overhanging wall in Buckhorn Draw. It's not clear how old these are but other Barrier Canyon style artifacts have yielded isotopic and thermoluminescence ages of between 1,500 and 7,000 years. It seems that they were here for a while. These pictographs were made of a pigment of primarily red ochre with some unknown organic binder. The various tones may indicate other pigment sources and perhaps different dates for some figures which, to my untrained eye, appear to be restorations of older figures. They were a hunter-gatherer society which left very few clues to their presence aside from their mysterious rock art which is scattered throughout much of the Colorado Plateau. Barrier Canyon art includes some fairly consistent themes. These include anthropomorphic figures, spirit figures, and figures of humans having intimate relationships (communicative) with animals. The Barrier Canyon peoples predate the Ancestral Puebloans (a.k.a. Anasazi). Can you imagine living on the Colorado Plateau as a hunter-gatherer? I don't have to imagine it. I know what it's like. As a very young man, my first specialization was in desert survival in that region. I spent nearly three years living partially off the land there and for about three of those months, I was alone and lived completely off of the land. It was really a pretty good life but I must admit that I didn't have to survive over a Winter. That would have taken a lot of serious preparation. #pictographs #petroglyphs #barriercanyonstyle #anasazi #redochre #anthropomorphic #spiritfigures #archaeology #anthropology #firstpeoples #nativeamerican #sanrafaelswell #utah #utahphotographer

Desert exploring...check out the pictographs on the ceiling above! #anasazi

View from campsite above Valley of the Gods, along with fantastic views, a short scramble off the the mesa top and hike along a ledge, there is a small ruin site. It is bad shape but always nice to visit ancient sites. . . . . . #cedarmesa#bearsears#savebearsears#anasazi #valleyofthegods#petroglyphs#pictographs #nativeamerican#ancient#ancientculture#ruins #ancientruins#desertculture#utahunique #hikeutah#hikeunknown#lotfhg#hikingculture #hikerlife#getoutside#wildernessculture#utahrocks #desertphotography#gooutside#camping

Sunset from Muley Point, one of the best places to camp on Cedar Mesa, if it's not windy. . . . . . #cedarmesa#bearsears#savebearsears#anasazi #valleyofthegods#petroglyphs#pictographs #nativeamerican#ancient#ancientculture#ruins #ancientruins#desertculture#utahunique #hikeutah#hikeunknown#lotfhg#hikingculture #hikerlife#getoutside#wildernessculture#utahrocks #desertphotography#gooutside#camping

Typical of the canyons of Bears Ears National Monument this canyon has several small sites, this one has a unusual two story granary a few other ruins, nine food preperation area and some rock art. #cedarmesa#bearsears#savebearsears#anasazi #valleyofthegods#petroglyphs#pictographs #nativeamerican#ancient#ancientculture#ruins #ancientruins#desertculture#utahunique #hikeutah#hikeunknown#lotfhg#hikingculture #hikerlife#getoutside#wildernessculture#utahrocks #desertphotography#gooutside#camping

This is my intuitive meanderings of what I call #Anthropomorphs inspired from petroglyphs and ancient #pictographs of the #AmericanSouthwest along with #aliens, #entities, #owls, other animals that I call #bushpoppers. All of this work has taken two months and is about 50-60% done. It’s around 5,000x5,000 pixels wide and the resolution is too high to get every detail on Instagram. . #myartwork #rockart #doodlesofinstagram #blackandwhitedoodle #metaphysical #interdimensionalbeings #coyote #deer #talkingtree #arizonastrip #grandcanyon #havasupai #ghosts #spirits #dreamer #oldones #whathappenedlongago #bigfoot

Farther down canyon is another nice small site featuring this small granary. #cedarmesa#bearsears#savebearsears#anasazi #valleyofthegods#petroglyphs#pictographs #nativeamerican#ancient#ancientculture#ruins #ancientruins#desertculture#utahunique #hikeutah#hikeunknown#lotfhg#hikingculture #hikerlife#getoutside#wildernessculture#utahrocks #desertphotography#gooutside#camping
