Description
The Anasazi Pueblo People were an ancient culture of Native Americans who were believed to have lived as long ago as the 12 century BCE. These ancient peoples are known for the impressive pueblo homes, made of mud, stone, or carved into canyon walls, which are today called the Anasazi Ruins. These ruins can be found at many sites in the American Southwest, including Mesa Verde National Park, Canyon de Chelly National Monument, Dark Canyon Wilderness, and other sites predominately located in the states of Colorado, Arizona, and Utah. All of these ruins are sacred places and should be treated with respect when visited.

Wonderful capture, Robert. The colors and textures, as well as your composition, are splendid. It almost looks as if the overhang is on fire, for the textures and colors are so grand. It sure captures the feel of what it would have been like to have lived here. No house key needed.
Robert Bales replied:
Very true about the key!!(LOL) I think that is why it has the nickname about fire. It sure was interesting to explore and thanks!!

Great shot. We're leaving for Mesa Verde, Santa Fe, and Taos tomorrow and hope to get a good shot of House on Fire in Mule Canyon which I believe is the subject of this photos. Really does look like it's on fire. Very well shot.
