As promised, here are some more pictures from our trip to the Petroforms.

My sunburn hurts a bit more today than it did last night. I can definitely tell that I got too much sun.


This is typical of the scenery around the forms. It is both remote, and pretty in spite of the drought-like conditions here for the past few weeks.

The picture does not do this proper justice. When you see this one in person, it is quite obviously a fish.
It's a fish!

The cloth offerings hung on the trees through out the area are a tell-tale sign that you are walking on sacred ground.

This one looks to me like a serpent. If it has some deeper spiritual meaning then it is lost on me. Only its creator knew for sure, and he/she has long since turned to dust.
Serpent?

Why spend good money on professional landscaping when nature does such a marvellous job on its own? The colour and detail did not quite come through on this picture, but many of the moss patches looked to be meticulously sculpted.

Is this a turtle or a directional marker? Something else altogether perhaps?
Turtle, or directional marker?

This is a slightly more modern work of art. The rust trails from the remains of a long-removed metal rail have left a ghostly spectre on the rocks.

That's very cool... and sort've sad for me. I grew up in Manitoba and I've never went to see those... or even known about them until now, I think.

Is that near the Whiteshell?

That's pretty cool. I lived in Manitoba for 20 years or so and never went there. :O Is it far from the city?

Also: I already wished you Happy Birthday or Atara's journal, but I hope you had a good day, lots of sushi and all that. :)
