After dealing with hot water heater issues at Tristan’s house on Sunday, Solstice morning, we climbed the escarpment and photographed some of the lesser known petroglyphs in the Petroglyph National Monument.

Not sure of this one — turtle, beetle, horned toad, alien?

A mix of old and modern petroglyphs: the bear foot and thundercloud are old the rest of the markings are modern

There is a face that looks like a cat, what looks like a sun wheel, a lizard, and fish and what looks like a crescent moon that are very faint on this chunk of lava. Can you find them?
