I've been anticipating the Solstice this year so that I could visit the Solstice Snake (aka Solar Snake or Hyper Viper) and watch the arrowhead appear on the snakes head. For about 2 minutes on the solstice a dagger of light shaped like an arrowhead appears on the head of this very large and well executed petroglyph of a snake. It was an amazing experience!

Wow - this is amazing :hail2thechief:! Good for you for having the patience to wait, and what a great reward to cop for the wait!

Curious - where is this panel? One of these days if I can get organized and plan ahead, I'd love to shoot something like this.
