Petrified Forest

Here are some images from the Petrified Forest where I spent two days on my tour through Zuni, Hopi, and Navajo lands. I'm trying to catch up on my blogs, and since pictures are worth so many words, I'll leave this entry short.

These Trees were supposedly carried down river systems long ago where they eventually sank to the bottom of swamps and were buried and preserved in mud and silt. This swamp today is desert giving up a sense of how things shift over geological time and how with all the climate change around us our world will one day likely look like a very different place.
peace,
