I found these photos while "digging" through my external drive for something to fill the mini-challenge "All that Remains" I found too many to post there, so I'll share a couple extra's here... :thumb

All these were taken on a trip to visit my dad in the Four Corners region of New Mexico. This area was pretty heavily populated by the Anasazi up until around 1200-1300 AD when they mostly abondoned their cities. My dad was actually working as a volunteer at one of the sites and was working on writing a book about the Anasazi at the time, so I had a pretty good tour guide for my trip...
(please note, these were all taken with my trusty little point & shoot, as I only got my dSLR a few months ago, hence I blame all technical problems on the camera, and not myself!! :rofl)

Abandoned Kivas at Arroyo


In a line... (doorways at Pueblo Benito, one of my favs despite the blown out highlights... remember, it was a point and shoot!! )


Shattered Beams


C&C are always welcome.

That neck of the woods is pretty. And it has some ancient history to go with
the beauty.

But boy, is it hot in the summer.

I completely agree with you Ian!!!

It's a nice place to visit in the spring and the fall, but forget about it durring the summer... I just can't carry that much water with me!!

Thanks for looking... I'll make it back there one of these days with my good camera, but there's still so much to shoot locally...

Looks like a very interesting place. Thanks for the photos to stir up my imagination.

It is!! It's absolutely incredible what they built and how they lived in such a seemingly inhospitable area.
