I felt as if this ancient traveler had left me a message when I photographed his or her handprint on the sandstone wall at El Morro National Monument in New Mexcio.

I love New Mexico and Utah's rock art. Haven't been to El Morro just yet but have it on my list. I'll look for your hand! Hope you are enjoying your cruise!

I love this photo — evocative and makes me think of who the handprint might belong to.

This has a similar feel to the artwork of the Australian aborigines who sprayed handprints onto rockwalls as part of their art.
