This was taken on Mesa Verde National Park here in Co. The building pictured here were occupied around 900AD. The "Anasazi" or as they are now known "Ancestral Puebloan" had to climb down approximately 500 feet each time they wanted to go somewhere at this site. There are plenty others and I'll be posting them, in the next few days. The elevation at the top is over 7000ft. A few years ago there was a huge fire that threatened the dwellings but mainly burned over 20,000 acres of trees.

A beautiful view and such an interesting story behind. Thanks for sharing both.

I would be happy, seeing you in my galerie. Today I've posted Belvedere Fountain.
One of my favorite places, and well captured. I like the two people there as it gives me an idea of the scale. And thanks for the information too.

Nice pic but I'm disappointed...I thought it was some kind of chili dish. Had to take my spoon back to the kitchen. Good work.

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

I always loved viewing and exploring these ruins. I find it interesting that some of the close-to-the-ocean shots I see from across the pond resemble these in that they are stacked on top of each other and look like cliff dwellings :)
