Probably "meander" is another name for "doodling", like we all used to do in our notebook margins during class.. nothing ever really changes:)<br />Going in with a guide is not only practical, but required (see my next post). Hope your house is coming along well and thanks for the visit.Mark Alan Meaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15872333914832970392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291622623416959170.post-21528741380515516562009-07-31T08:21:25.209-07:002009-07-31T08:21:25.209-07:00What a wonderful place to visit, and with a guide ...What a wonderful place to visit, and with a guide to point out the highlights! I would be torn between having a guide, and the silence and space to just shoot-- but if it's a very remote location, a guide is surely a good thing!<br /><br />I've read that even before the advent of petroglyphs and pictograms, cave people drew "meanders," which were sort of formless, meandering lines. That was before they developed a more specific symbology.<br /><br />Can't wait to see more of the USA in the future, as so much of it has escaped me. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your inspirational photo-adventure, Mark!Lynda Lehmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10914824862008453219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291622623416959170.post-785775899197250852009-07-29T14:19:44.498-07:002009-07-29T14:19:44.498-07:00Jackie: Long time no hear.. welcome back.

Be seeing you around I'm sure.<br /><br />Maisy: thank you very much.. glad you enjoy what you see. Always happy to welcome new readers.<br /><br />Joanne: I think it was a much slower process in those days and I wonder if they had any concept of how long these things would last and what we would think of them?<br /><br />Patrick: Thanks.. and yes, they did seem to put a lot of thought and detail into this work.. of course, they had plenty of time!<br /><br />Dr. Lauren: Good to hear from you.. I knew someone was into archaeology, but forgot who it was. I think you will enjoy some of my upcoming stuff about the cliff dwellings in this area and probably some more rock art, too. Stay tuned:)<br /><br />Chrissy: thanks for stopping by.. I was reading your blog yesterday and admiring the butterflies. Sorry to hear your weather is so bad.. I guess England lives up to it's reputation:) Actually some rain would be welcome around this part of the world! <br /><br />Deb.. Thank you as always!<br /><br />Thanks to everyone else for the comments.. I'm working on processing some new work from this trip, but may take a while, with other work intruding, etc.Mark Alan Meaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15872333914832970392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291622623416959170.post-78019545084543487062009-07-29T09:48:36.535-07:002009-07-29T09:48:36.535-07:00I haven't been over for a little while and I a...I haven't been over for a little while and I am glad I popped over this evening.
