*The Guardian*

This ancient pictograph of a desert bighorn sheep appears to be keeping watch over an extremely well preserved set of Anasazi ruins deep in the backcountry of Cedar Mesa, Utah.
There's little that compares to sitting out here for long periods of time, with only the cries of ravens echoing in the canyons to dispel the total silence, and pondering the lives of these ancient peoples

Great shot, John. Love the warm light. I think I know what you mean. You can't help but wonder about what life must have been like for these people.
