Lying on the sacrificial altar

Rozel Hills, Utah view map


The title is a blatant lie intended only to get your attention. I'm merely lying down to soak up the pleasant warmth of the sun on a day that had been mostly cloudy and drab. The (basalt) rock was warm. The camera holster is strapped to my chest with a home-made wrap-around harness that takes the weight of the camera off of my neck.

My personal assistant, Joe Tripod, helped with this photo.

I have to admit that I have never seen a boulder s.p.

Fear not, Dan: I explore deserts, not jungles.

Be careful of anyone who says "Your place or Mayan?"

Larry, I was very careful not to post the poorly-exposed photos.

Nice area but be careful, Dave.

Thanks for your concern, John, but Joe's level of support on these trips is nothing short of amazing.

Dave, regarding your title for this picture. Many a true word is spoken in jest. You must be more careful, they are everywhere. Your friend Joe would not be much help in a sudden attack.

HAHA yours may be less dramatic, however that rock you're on was probably MUCH warmer, especially considering that i was up around 3,000m altitude ;)

And what strange ritual of the living dead is this?
