TERRITORIES UNCHARTED DESCRIPTION
Territories Uncharted, Being prompted to search an area of the Rocky Mountains, a mountain range that I have been to several times throughout the years but only found petroglyphs nearby. As I spent most of the day hiking around this mountain, wanting to move on, the spirit was telling me differently. As the evening approached, the spirit prompted me to cross over the valley as well as where to stand and watch the mountain. As the sun was setting, hitting this mountain, waking it up, its spirit hit me like lightning transforming into a native warrior in its shadows revealing his war cry, its buckskin bone armor breastplate and his eyes looking right at me with weathered face and head feather. I could not believe it. “I took a million shots,” knowing he would disappear in minutes without a trace as if he was never here in this sacred spot. This was one of the few shots I took before he disappeared off into the sunset. Having been here several times in the past, learning how skillful and powerful he was in hiding in the landscape.

TERRITORIES UNCHARTED DESCRIPTION
Territories Uncharted, exploring and searching off the grid in remote areas for days with no trails to follow but small promptings, leaving behind stacked stones as markers, there were several valleys. I ended up walking through a valley of rattlesnakes which will not be returning back this way. As I was hiking across several plateaus finding obsidian chips and broken arrow heads, I was coming to the edge of a canyon looking around. I noticed something far off along the canyon ridge, feeling prompted to head in that direction. I felt something like a warning, having to ask for promotion to enter this territory. So I did, as I got closer noticing a stone native structure I felt a powerful presence, something I can’t explain. This native revealed himself as a dog soldier along with his TRIBAL markings, will keep this short fearing his warnings. This dog soldier faces the sunsets. His tribal markings on his side were once feared by others; knowing the markings of a dog soldier set him apart as a great warrior. His green tattoos or markings are kept up by the ancient spirits that overlook his sacred territory. Getting this dog soldier’s pic is like walking into a wolf pack territory and coming out alive.

TERRITORIES UNCHARTED DESCRIPTION
Territories Uncharted exploring the southwest searching in these canyons for days chasing the uncharted, I came to this canyon’s edge. As I looked around, I noted the best view point; I felt guided by spiritual force in this canyon. I started my hike, taking a day or so to get where I was prompt to go. Walking along the rim of these canyons is incredible, I came across a wild cougar overlooking this canyon valley for his prey, an ancient weathered stone head marking knowing now I was in native territory, I took some photos and started my search. As I arrived, I saw several canyons from this viewpoint. As I climbed out on the top of this rock overlooking this ancient view, the promptings were telling me I was here. As I was along the cliff edge looking and searching, I jumped off the back side. I looked back and felt this native warrior’s presence revealing his power overlooking these canyons with an eagle’s eye view of his territory which stretched beyond sight. Who he allows to enter signaling other scouts back in his day. It was hard to see all his features so I spent the day with him seeing what mysteries he might share waiting for the sun to reveal this warrior’s power and authority overlooking these sacred canyons.

HONORING MOTHER EARTH, Limited Edition, Hidden Location by Ty Saunders

.
TERRITORIES UNCHARTED DESCRIPTION
Territories Uncharted, the ancient world still talks. I spent days walking through uncharted beautiful deserts with striking canyon landscapes that touch the sky trying to catch the mysteries of what hangs along the canyon’s walls reflecting their spiritual stories of the ancient tribes that once walked here. Only if they could tell their stories. This discovery was an unforgettable experience. After listening to the promptings of native spirits, I walked past it several times without seeing what was in plain sight. This native chief was a master of the art of camouflage using his unique ability to hide in plain sight due to his adaptability, knowledge of the land, and keen ability to blend in and survive for so long. In this unforgiving desert as the sun rays flooded along this canyon wall I could feel the power of his spirit revealing himself as a truly hidden masterpiece in the art of the landscape. This native appeared to be honoring mother earth and what was being said we’ll never know. What took you so long, as I was here in plain sight. Thanking him for all these amazing shots. I chose this one for my galleries named Honoring Mother Earth.

Hand out with them for a while; they gave me the best place to stand to get all three of them together. Looking like thunder they reward me with this unbelievably powerful photo.

Territories Uncharted, exploring a few of the deserts in the southwest, being off the grid, finding several new discoveries, then feeling a powerful urge to head to Navajo Canyon lands, days drive so I did. Feeling it will reveal other new discoveries and hidden mysteries. These spiritual promptings did so.

I was lucky enough to meet one of them as she reveals herself as one of the ancient indigenous spirits. She moved me quickly into a position to take photos of her. The timing was perfect; little help from her catching this beautiful masterpiece of her in the elements in all her BEAUTY. Letting me know the love she has for this place and her people.
