The plan worked to perfection, “Bree”hemoth, unleashed his pneumatically assisted whipper arm and plucked Zola from the air. The shock on Zola’s body was immense, his eyes bulged and his sausage roll super thrusters, deprived of much needed airflow, whined in protest. He was fast losing consciousness. The red world blurred and greyed at the edges and all sound receded in a rapidly closing mental fog. The “Bree”hemoth opened its jaws in delight and cast victorious glance down at Zola, no more would these free flyer, cliff-dwellers, disrupt operations at the hill. His last thought was a brief concern as to the whereabouts of Zola’s partner, Gorgon. The distraction had worked, The excitement registered by the Breehemoth, had momentarily diverted power from its dome shield and Gorgon punched through the soft tissue, his internal processors and deft pink fingers worked at light speed, to sever and remove the “Bree”hemoth’s core controller –its brain. Zola dropped from lifeless fingers, his motors roared into life on auto pilot and took him up to a safe altitude, where he came round to see Gorgon next to him. Gorgon and Zola roared off into the red sky with cheesy grins plastered over their faces.

In Canyon De Chelly Az. These are the famous cliff dwellings that Ansel Adams photographed. When I visited that area of the southwest a couple rolls of film were overexposed, particularly the ones from this area. I liked this shot anyway however and have worked on it with photo shop. The southwest in daylight is harsh and part of what one remembers about the area.

This particular Ruin is located at Mesa Verde National Park….. very interesting history…. Mesa Verde, Spanish for green table, offers a spectacular look into the lives of the Ancestral Pueblo people who made it their home for over 700 years, from A.D. 600 to A.D. 1300. Today, the park protects over 4,000 known archeological sites, including 600 cliff dwellings. These sites are some of the most notable and best preserved in the United States. /

Just outside of Manitou Springs and beneath Pikes Peak, in Colorado, lies a 700 year old cliff dwelling, which was once occupied by the Anasazis. Anasazis are often called “The Ancient Ones,” occupying this area from 1200 BC to 1300 BC. There is a legendary tale that the Anasazis disappeared, due to attacks and/ or starvation. However, there is some evidence that suggests that they joined the Zuni and Hopi and Tribes. Beautiful artwork still remains on the interior of the Mesa, as you can see. This photograph was taken with a Canon XT.

Roadside “Cliff Dwellers” dwelling found along Hwy 89A on Dec, 25, 2008, near Page, Arizona. Camera Data / Canon EOS Rebel XTi / F-stop f/5.6 / Exposure 1/125 / ISO 100 / Focus 58mm Historical Data Before Cliff Dwellers was a vacation destination, travelers came because it was the only place where the Colorado could be crossed for hundreds of miles on either side. Captivated by the Vermilion Cliffs and endless blue skies, settlers chose to homestead in such an inimitable environment because it spoke to something deep within them. The Arizona Strip, with it isolation and solitude, offered a unique way of life for travelers seeking the mythological freedom of the American west. For Blanche and Bill Russell, the original homesteaders at Cliff Dwellers, this was no exception. They established a small trading post at Cliff Dwellers in 1920 after crossing the Colorado at Lees Ferry. Their original home still stands at the end of property. They established camp next to Soap Creek where they constructed the unique rock house for which the community received its name. The cowboys who drove cattle on the AZ Strip called the Russell homestead ‘Cliff Dwellers’ because of its proximity to the Vermilion Cliffs. There are no prehistoric cliff dwellings at Cliff Dweller. The tribes which inhabited the region constructed pit-houses or hogans. The Russell family stumbled into a unique money making opportunity at Cliff Dwellers. In 1877, the Mormon Church constructed a temple in St. George, UT so followers living in Arizona could be properly married in a confirmed church. Hordes of Mormons flocked across the border and the Russell Family was there to cater to their travel needs. Later, the rock house and trading post were sold to Jack Church. Jack added his own individual touch to the location by bringing a bar to the original trading post. Needless to say, this change brought in new clientele. The young cattlemen who drove livestock for “Uncle Jim” Owens at the foot of the Kaibab Plateau became regulars at Cliff Dwellers. After these ranch hands finished driving cattle and bison on the AZ Strip, they would retire to the small rock house and partake in both the evening festivities and Church’s bootleg liquor. The next proprietor of Cliff Dwellers expanded their financial repertoire by starting one of the first river guide operations on the Colorado River. historical data from http://www.cliffdwellerslodge.com/Lodge_History.html
