This interesting Jornada-style anthropomorphic petroglyph with a cloud terrace on its head, is holding what may be a corn stalk. The cloud terrace, or stepped fret, is a common motif in Jornada Mogollon rock art, as it is in other indigenous cultures throughout the American southwest.

I'm a native coastal Californian transplanted to the foothills of the Cascades. Being near the mountains has afforded me the opportunity to become attuned to seasonal rhythms and infuse that sense of time and place into my nature photography. I love to take off on roads less traveled, especially when it means losing myself in some remote place until I feel like being found.
