Petroglyph or Mother Nature?
A friend in Washington State explains she loves exploring petroglyphs.
The rock face looks like eyes and a frowning and open mouth
With no shortage of rock formations in the Northwest she keeps very busy, although. She was initially fooled by some recent pictures I sent her way. One resembles an angry child. It’s a natural formation along the Missouri River Canyon in Montana. The rock face looks like eyes and a frowning and open mouth. Mother Nature is responsible.
The same for a formation named the elephant by a tour guide 140 years ago. The guide also spotted a rock formation resembling a crocodile.
When I was a boy there was a bluff on an old dirt road known to the Boy Scouts as Indian head. It looked like a man staring westward from the top of a cliff. More than 40 years later I assume it still stands.
