I am a flatlander, which I think partly explains my fascination with the extreme landscapes of the Colorado Plateau. I am especially amazed by the ways canyons simultaneously dampen and amplify sound. While I was photographing the petroglyphs in this series I didn’t hear any sounds from roads or machines or people at all. It was a profoundly quiet dawn, except for the cries of this peregrine falcon that kept swooping overhead. Unfortunately, she refused to pose for a close up.
