    Solstice Snake


    Solstice Snake by IntrepidXJ, on Flickr

    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!

    Very cool shot. The various solstice panels in the southwest are fascinating.

    Wow - this is amazing ! 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.
