Chaco Canyon

Images from Chaco Canyon National Park, New Mexico, USA
A set of rooms in Pueblo Bonito in Chaco Canyon National Park.

I think this is a fairly well known shot, at least I've seen it on a number of book covers at the local park HQ.  Honestly though I took this picture before I knew that... it also offers a refreshing twist on the photos used on the covers with the addition of the room's corner.

This is a section of wall at Pueblo Bonito in Chaco Canyon.  The protrusions from the wall are logs used to support ceilings and floors in the original structure.

Overview of Pueblo Bonito from above - it really gives you a feeling for how grand the original must have been.

This shot is a rare occurance - some Hopi dancers were on hand to celebrate the summer solstice with the Butterfly Dance.  The dance took place in the central plaza of Pueblo Bonito in Chaco Canyon National Park, possibly where similar dances would been performed thousands of years ago on the same day.

The Hopi explicity allowed photography at the event.

Another shot of Hopi Drummers/singers, performing the Butterfly Dance (the drummers themselves did not dance of course!!).
