Picture Taken and Copyright by R. Bruce W. Laubach Photographer Bruce's Quote - "This was taken at a place called Monument Rocks in western Kansas. While photographing theses formations, I felt compelled to take this image. I bulk load my 35 mm film and when I first saw this back in 1975, I thought it may have been light leaks or static charges on the film, but what makes this one intriguing is that it was several frames into the roll. And after scanning the negative I was able to zoom in on the image and I got more of an impression of body shapes than random streaks. If you look closely at some of them it looks like feathered headresses."
