Intriguing and poignant look at an ancient way of life. My family and I lived near Canyon de Chelly when I was a teen, and I love to explore for ruins. The famous "White House Ruin" even had a reconstructed room into which I crawled through a window opening. The cool dusk and the soft, sandy floor gave me a deep feeling of peace. My father's best friend, a Hopi traditional leader and artist, said that the "Anasazi" were the ancestors of the Hopi, which made perfect sense to me. This is an evocative and beautiful image!
