These two power figures painted side by side may indicate this rock shelter is a place of power. Appendages portruding from the heads of these figures may indicate shamanic powers or out-of-body experiences. This rock shelter is located at a high altitude in southern Big Sur and would have been rather difficult to get to - a great place for a ritualistic retreat. Image copyright Cher Peterson.

how cool to find something like this in our own backyard - thanks for the commentary PennyAnonymous Guest 15 Feb 2007
YEs, I see what you mean. I just realized, the skull, neck and shoulders/back that I was referring to is actually in the rock formation itself, that the drawings are on. They look like to me that they are slightly turned toward each other with their shoulders and heads together. Wonderful....Dene Patton 14 Feb 2007
