Intaglios in Blythe, California

We went to Mexico a few days ago and on our way back we stopped in Blythe, Californai to look at Intaglios. Intaglios are pictures in the ground. Old Indians scraped away rocks to show the darker color of rocks under the first layer. This leaves a little imprint of the picture in the ground. If you didn't get to see the pictures taken from the air then it would be very hard to tell what the pictures where of.
The picture above and below is the Intaglio that I like the best.
The 3 pictures below are of the same Intaglio, It was very cold out when we were there. In the picture below I was standing like that to look like the Intaglio.


The next Intaglio is of an animal and a snake (the swirly thing). This one was probabley the hardest one to see from the ground.

Hope you enjoyed looking at the Intaglios!
