Spruce House, Mesa Verde, Colorado by Adrian Paul
BEST VIEWED LARGE This view of the Spruce House from the opposite side of the valley gives a good idea of how difficult it must have been for the ancient Anasazi people not only to build these structures but also to survive, when the only way in was by rope ladder. Spruce Tree House, the third largest cliff dwelling (Cliff Palace and Long House are larger), was constructed between A.D. 1211 and 1278 by the ancestors of the Puebloan peoples of the Southwest. The dwelling contains about 130 rooms and 8 kivas (kee-vahs), or ceremonial chambers, built into a natural alcove measuring 216 feet (66 meters) at greatest width and 89 feet (27 meters) at its greatest depth. It is thought to have been home for about 60 to 80 people. FEATURED IN AMERICA’S NATIONAL PARKS

Bison in the Dust, Montana. USA. by PhotosEcosse
The ground was bone dry, and the Bison ( or Buffalo if you wish !) were rather skitterish, kicking up a whole lot of dust, so I took advantage of the moment to produce a more interesting image. The colour shot looked too plain, so in Adobe Photoshop CS3 I converted to b/w, applied a little Orton, dodged and burned here and there, and my final touch was to add some ‘noise’ to enhance the dust, which also looks like mist ! Shot on a Canon EOS 40D, f9.5, 1/350 sec, ( I needed a fast shutter speed and a fairly shallow depth of field ) iso 200, 28-300mm Tamron lens set at 109mm, hand held, RAW file converted in Adobe Camera Raw / CS3 as above.

Family Round Up by Chris Snyder
Here the bull who was the current champion is rounding up part of his herd. This bull was having a time keeping them all together. The park rangers said that this relatively inexperienced bull was being “used” by the more experienced bulls. However, a frequent visitor said that he had defeated the past reigning bull earlier that week…Canon 40D, 70-200 f2.8 lens, two shot pano at 70mm.

mesa verde by Luca Renoldi
Mesa Verde – Colorado Mesa Verde is best known for a large number of well preserved cliff dwellings, houses built in shallow caves and under rock overhangs along the canyon walls. The structures contained within these alcoves were mostly blocks of hard sandstone, held together and plastered with adobe mortar. Specific constructions had many similarities, but were generally unique in form due to the individual topography of different alcoves along the canyon walls. In marked contrast to earlier constructions and villages on top of the mesas, the cliff dwellings of Mesa Verde reflected a region-wide trend towards the aggregation of growing regional populations into close, highly defensible quarters during the 1200s.

Downward Fox by Jay Ryser
It’s been a while since I was at my fox hole, and decided to go to today to see how the place is. Damage from the storm has progressed to the point that all the back trails are again open and much of the debris from the storm has been removed. There are still piles of limbs here and there, and a LOT more open sky. I ran into this fox within about 50 meters of the parking lot. I’m not familiar with this fox. He sat and watched me for a bit and apparently decided I wasn’t too much of a risk and went about his morning rituals, including a long series of stretches.

Spruce House Mesa Verde National Park by justinbaer
Mesa Verde National Park is located near Cortez and Durango Colorado. The existence of these cliff dwellings were virtually unknown for almost 600 years between the 1300s and the late 1800s. One can go on ranger led tours of some of these amazing dwellings. The Spruce House one can go without a tour.
