"Fajada Butte"
The photographer writes; I have been bumming around the Four Corners area this week on a brief archeology/astronomy field trip between semesters. [This image is] from Chaco Canyon, the ancient Puebloan site in NW New Mexico. The crumbling walls of Hungoe Pavi, one of the Chaco "Great Houses", frame Fajada Butte in the distance. There is a site on the top of Fajada Butte that tracked the winter solstice, throwing a dagger of light across a spiral petroglyph.

As long as you send images to me (and I hope it will be for forever), I shall continue to share them with my readership. My purpose for posting these images is to remind all of us of the grandeur of the natural world and that there is a world out there that is populated by millions of unique species. We are a part of this world whether we like it or not: we have a choice to either preserve these species or to destroy them in search of short-term monetary gains. But if we decide to destroy these other life forms, the least we can do is to know what we are destroying by learning that they exist. If you have a high-resolution digitized nature image (I prefer JPG format) that you'd like to share with your fellow readers, feel free to email it to me, along with information about the image and how you'd like it to be credited.
