Writing-On-Stone Image Wall: A Window to the Past

The Writing-On-Stone Image Wall, located in Alberta, Canada, is a treasure trove of ancient rock art that provides a unique glimpse into the cultural and artistic expressions of the Indigenous people who once inhabited the area. This stunning collection of petroglyphs and pictographs, etched and painted onto the sandstone cliffs, is a testament to the rich history and heritage of the region.

The images on the walls depict a wide array of subjects, including wildlife, human figures, and geometric designs, offering valuable insights into the beliefs, daily life, and artistic traditions of the early inhabitants. These images, created over thousands of years, serve as a visual record of the cultural practices and historical events that have shaped the area.

The Writing-On-Stone Image Wall is not only a testament to the artistry and creativity of the Indigenous people, but also a valuable resource for researchers and historians seeking to understand the cultural significance of the rock art. By studying the images and their placement within the landscape, scholars can gain a deeper understanding of the spiritual, social, and environmental contexts in which they were created.

Snakes Migrating to Warmer Places for the Winter

This is the Bull Snake and we took this video when we were down at the Provincial Park, Writing on Stone, which is in Southern Alberta Canada. In this southern area of Alberta they do even have highway signs stating that you need to be on the lookout for Snakes that may be crossing the roadways in their travels. We did manage to see a couple of them, we were not driving at the time, this one had slithered out from under a rock and was, at least I believe, making it's way down into the valley below. Assuming they may situate themselves under buildings and so on that are down there, there is a campsite below that in most parts is closed for the winter. Don't quote me, I think you can still go there, but the stores and showers and so on are shut down, you need to bring in your own drinking water and all food items that you think you will need. Keep that in mind if you are going to head there over the winter months.
