Description
This photo was taken at the far view sites in Colorado's Mesa Verde National Park. This part of the southwest has been intermittently inhabited by people referred to as the paleo-indians for over 11,500 years.
Mesa Verde in particular started to have its famous cliff dwellings built as early as the 12th century, with the far view sites - featured in this photo - built between 1075 and 1125, with over 22,000 people living in Mesa Verde. Eventually, around 1299, over seven hundred years of human occupation ended following a sustained period of drought and cold. Now, the humans here are tourists, like me.
I took this image on a cold autumn morning. Later that afternoon, it hailed, followed by a classic southwest thunderstorm.
