My mom and I like to go exploring for petroglyphs. Albuquerque is host to Petroglyph National Park and within the park these are several unique sites. Piedras Marcadas Canyon is not as well known as some of the other trails in the park and it's difficult to find because the there is no address listed for it on the park service website. 

The petroglyphs range in age from 400 - 1000 years and as you enter the canyon, it is like stepping into a time machine. The noise of the city falls away and a sense of suspended time sets in. It is easy to image what the people who drew these images saw everyday because the area has remained unchanged since these drawings were made.

I call this one, "Thin Man At The Anteater Rodeo". The original meaning was probably something different though.
