The Fish Slough Site Gallery (Iny-267)

I visited the Fish Slough Site on the morning of Monday, May 24, 2021.  This is a well known little site on Fish Slough Road, north of Bishop, California.  Directions:  from the intersection of Chalk Bluff Road, Casa Diablo Road, and Fish Slough Road, go north on Fish Slough Road for approximately 6.77 miles and you will see a turnoff to the left.  The parking lot for this site is less than 100 yards from the main road.  This is a small site and I did not spend a lot of time there, but I am glad I decided to stop by.  For the blog of my trip that includes my visit to this site, look here.  I hope you enjoy my photos!

This First Group of Nine Photos Was Taken With My Nikon P1000…

The surfaces at this site tended to be quite rough, and not really ideal for petroglyphs.
A cute little isolate.
Standing on a rock nearby I could see and photograph a number of elements scattered about.
Again, a very rough surface.
This was one of the best preserved panels at the site.
The sun was not right for photographing the art on this side of the boulder.
Unfortunately there was some graffiti at this site.
This boulder had a number of bedrock features on its flat top.
A little detail. Some holes were shallow, some deep.

The Following Ten Photos Were Taken With My Nikon D7200…

These are the first petroglyphs you see as you approach from the parking area.
The snow-capped mountains always make an impressive backdrop.
One of the best preserved elements.
A little context.
Circular elements were very common at this site.
This is actually a pretty nice little panel.
I think this is the best preserved element at the site.
This one almost seems out of place.
Glad I was able to get some kind of shot of the back side of this boulder.
The surface with the bedrock features.

These Last Five Photos Were Taken With My Samsung S9 Cellphone, Which Sometimes Takes Better Images In Bad Light…

The back side of this boulder was so difficult to photo in the available light.
Nice rectilinear element in this part of the panel.
The right hand side of the panel on the back of the boulder.
This element resembles a wagon wheel, or a pinwheel.
My favorite at this site
