Sky Rock Petroglyph and the Milky Way Galaxy, Bishop, California<\/strong><\/p>\n

This image has been a goal of mine for some years. Ever since I first saw Sky Rock in person, and realized how fully its skyward gaze ties it — and its visionary creator of many centuries ago — to the stars above, I wanted to depict the Sky Rock Petroglyph beneath the night sky. Sky Rock is considered by some to be the finest single petroglyph panel found anywhere; it is certainly the best I have ever seen. This panorama, spanning 220 degrees horizontally and 160 degrees from top to bottom, is based on 51 separate 36mp exposures. I’ve created it using two projections: the Mercator projection (below) and the spherical projection (link<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The Milky Way at Night over Sky Rock. Sky Rock petroglyphs near Bishop, California. Hidden atop an enormous boulder in the Volcanic Tablelands lies Sky Rock, a set of petroglyphs that face the sky. These superb examples of native American petroglyph artwork are thought to be Paiute in origin, but little is known about them.
