Image Details:

Ancient rock art on an isolated boulder under the spiraling night sky in southeastern Utah

Stone, sand, and stars
Spirals and circles all peering northward. Everything illuminated by darkness, not a photon from the sun or a street lamp.
Keep this land dark, keep the sky now as it was then.
