Petrogylphs
I went hiking last weekend with my daughter in the Maui outback, and I photographed lots of petroglyphs. The first one looks like a sailing vessel to me. Could they have been carved by some of the early Polynesian explorers who traveled to Maui?Labels: ancient rock carvings, daily photobloggers, daily photos, dailyphotoblogs, hiking on Maui, petroglyphs

Nice pictures. Petroglyphs are always a bit intriguing; sometimes they look much more recent than they actually are... I had my share of the experience in Easter Island!
Interesting photographs.
I don't know about the first one but the circles remind me of an abstract tornado.
The second one is a man on the right and a bird of some kind on the left. It is the only thing I can think of with three toes. Probably not that though.

Just a Lily today, plus a shaft of sunshine on my oak tree. A blessing for a bountiful crop — I hope.

Wonderful shots. I sure wonder who made these and the story behind all the figures. Do you have any idea how old these are?
That really interesting. It has to be great watching so old petroglyphs. Have you any idea how old they could be?
Where in Maui are those? I thought most of the (known) petrogyphs in Hawaii were on Lanai..?
Wendy: they are in the Olowalu area...back up in the cliffs.
