Long House Wall
Photo By Bob Faucher

Title: Long House Wall
State/Province/Region: New Mexico
Country: United States
Nearest Area: Bandelier NM
Nearest Town: White Rock
Notes: f/16 @ 1/100 sec; ISO 100; Auto exposure; partial metering mode; Auto WB; RAW capture
Best Season: Spring
Description: Marked with rows of viga holes, testifying that the Long House was a three story structure, the southwest-facing wall of the Frijoles Canyon glows in late afternoon sunlight as the shadow from the opposite side of the canyon creeps up the towering cliff face. The advancing shadow serves as a reminder that, although the Ancestral Pueblo people lived here for over 400 years in homes carved from the volcanic tuff, the land could no longer support the people and they were forced to move south and east along the Rio Grande.
Gear: Canon 5D; 16-35 mm @ 24 mm; Gitzo tripod; RRS B55 ballhead

Thank you very much, Lorenzo! I was pretty happy to see those clouds coming in from the west as I was quickly setting up pre-sunset to get this side of the lighthouse. Thank you! --Jim--
