My camera and I spent midday Sunday poking around several Alabama Hills arches, and I came away with 2 questions.
First, it looked like a S&R helicopter was flying out over the Hills from Whitney area - just wondering if everything was okay up there.
Second, for those familiar with the petroglyphs/pictographs near the Balanced Rocks/Three Brothers - they didn't look anything like rock art I've seen before; they were far too symmetric and 'clean'. There was a lizard pictograph that looked more like something you'd see painted on fake indian pottery at a grand canyon gift shop than anything I've seen 'in the wild'.
Our group was split 1/2 and 1/2 on the opinion real vs. movie set fake. It was a very photogenic site with up in a pile of rocks with great views - it would make a great movie set, but then again, I'm sure the Native Americans appreciated the spot as well. I still need to sort through the thousands of shots I took this weekend, but I'll post some as soon as I can. If anyone knows what I'm talking about I'd love to get some info on these glyphs to settle the debate.
