Etched into the bark of aging aspens across Colorado, thousands of notes from lonely shepherds from afar linger on a fading canvas. They are lonely narratives carved carefully and passionately a century ago by Mexican, Peruvian and Basque sheepherders, delivering a blunt glimpse into their hard lives.
Known as arborglyphs or dendroglyphs, the impressions divulge the raw isolation of men far from the warmth of family and home.
