The Painted Rocks at Chloride
Posted by: SamLowe In: Artistic Endeavors| Odd Observations| Small Town Scene

Either way, the decorated boulders have withstood the elements, bureaucracy and the multitude of tourists who travel a crooked mile to view them, photograph them, comment on them and attempt to decipher their hidden meaning.
