Note: This photo shows the Spaceman in his natural orientation, upside down. How does one describe that he is beyond the gravity that we earthlings take so much for granted?

Note: This shows the International Space Station as it was some years ago. Its structure is much more complex with more than eight times as many solar panels now.

Note: I brought along my gold leaf thinking I'd try guilding the scientific instruments that are, in reality, encased in non-oxidizing metalic foil. This is the second gilded petroglyph, the first is the Chandra Xray Observatory in Ingomar, MT

Note: The composition for this petroglyph used two intersecting triangle to ground and balance the composition. This sailboat serves as the apex of the lower triangle. Interestingly, it is a consistent favorite.

Note: This is one of my favorite carvings. The complexity of the space, the two figures, and the American flag make it work.

Note: This was the first image on the lower half of the petroglyph that I carved. The stone has varying tensile strengths which made it hard to carve. It seems where the water flows, the stone turns almost to clay.
