A New tag this week that fits in so nicely with my love of rocks! #bouldersunday created by @shasta
BoulderSunday rules
My Boulder photos are in the Petroglyph National Monument near Albuquerque, New Mexico. This is one the largest petroglyphs sites in North America. Approximately 15,000 petroglyphs or prehistoric rock art images have been found on the escarpment which is approximately 17 miles long.
A word of warning to all,
Lava is very hot liquid rock that comes out of a volcano. It was interesting to me that the way the molten lava flowed was clearly visible.
The petroglyphs are from 300 to 2500 years old.
There are 5 volcanic cinder cones within the protected area of the National Monument.The volcanic cinder cones and lava flows formed 150,000 years ago as liquid lava flowed from fissures in the Earth.
Remember to enter the Shadow Contest this week

I feel like that with all the things that I see on Steem! I'm unable to do much traveling these days due to health issues, and I feel like I still get to travel the world while sitting right here in my comfortable chair!

Awesome! I love ancient history in the US. Looks like you got the petroglyph rattlesnake warning in the photo above the modern rattlesnake warning sign ha ha

I bet that is exactly what the Petroglyph meant! Probably to warn the kids not to play in that part of the boulder pile!

Hope I can help spread the word! While lava is one of my least favorite rocks, I had been thinking I should do a post using some of these photos, and it just happen to fit for #BoulderSunday

Very historic, of course. But, seeing a word of warning, are there lots of snakes? Honestly I'm afraid of snakes!
Thanks for this @melinda010100

I've never been near a vulcan. That is something I still have to do. Those rocks must have a nice texture.

There are all different textures, I guess it depends on what kind of gases and how big the bubbles were in the molten rock.

We unexpectedly spent a whole week in this area. We were on our way to Arizona and we ended up having problems with the truck and it took that long to get the repairs done. So we got to do a lot of exploring, and I'm so glad we did.

I don't know how you say in English but in Hungarian we have a saying. There's a good thing in every bad thing. This is true in most cases.

That is a good way to say it in English, too. 'Every cloud has a silver lining' is an often used saying here.

There were some interesting Rock structures there that showed exactly how the lava had flowed and then filled in later amongst rocks that hardened and so there were two different textures. Anyway that was interesting to see. But lava doesn't interest me much.
Some of the Petroglyphs were interesting to see.
Congrats on your numbers today. They were fantastic and it clearly shows how important the PS score is in the final calculation.

yes the lava isn't much to look at but the petroglyphs are fascinating, I remember seeing markings out there done by Native Americans showing them with dinosaurs.
Oh the numbers I have in the league, I am so grateful to you for pointing those out because I don't think anyone else studies them. But they are usually shocking when you compare them, you're like .."how in the world did I not win?' lol. until you see the PS number.
Not that it matters at the moment since I'm not competing but the numbers are still interesting. Did you get the same position as last week?

If some of those petroglyphs are 2,500 years old it's really impossible for me to even imagine who those people were! 300 years ago, sure, I can imagine who they were. It's just too bad that someone didn't set up a video camera when the world began.
My numbers were all down slightly this week except for my CL score which was up by almost 1,000. I've been hanging around 5th 6th and 7th for the past 3 weeks. I need to work on that PS score for this week. I think that must weigh pretty heavy in the calculations.

yes that and the CL seem to be the ones that make the difference or I would have won. The PS score is the hardest to bring up for me though, I already talk to tons of people and then to have to go out and try to find even more to talk to...that's why it's been a relief not to compete.

Wednesday would be a good day to come by and click on my link for my Shadow contest. It's always at the bottom of all of my posts. There are a lot of people there that you could go through quickly and comment on all of their Shadow photo entries. The numbers have been down, but some weeks there's as many as 50. It's a quick way to get comments on new people.

Very cool! That would be a great place to see. It makes one wonder what the glyphs meant... I've heard there are some petroglyphs in northern MN, too.

There are some in Wisconsin too, in Roch-a-Cri State Park. It is in Central Wisconsin very near where I lived for 10 years, but at the time I never knew about the petroglyphs.
