Palo Alto Urban Petroglyph Project

These petroglyphs were all photographed from one particular road in and near Palo Alto, CA. It seems that the roadworkers had some good fun–or a tradition, of laying down their extra tar. Enjoy.”

I hope they actually ask what these are all about! (via anthrodesign)

    Sorry, but you have urban pictographs rather than petroglyphs. I had a exhibition of Urban Petroglyphs and Pictographs in Budapest in 2004. Check out my web site. Unfortunately the Russians have been spamming it so some of the images don’t appear. Enjoy.

    Hi Frank, I’m the curator/creator of the Palo Alto Urban Petroglyph Project. I’d love to know more about why you think they are pictographs as opposed to contemporary petroglyphs…thanks!
