Alstrom Point in Lake Powell at sunset. There is no road within many miles of this location, so it was the last trip for my late suburban. Navajo Mountain is in the background.

The main ceremonial area of Chaco Canyon, North East of Gallup, New Mexico

Looking down through 5 rooms inside the main Great House at Chaco Canyon, New Mexico. The light on the wall in the last room was actually reflected off the wall for the room before it. Chacoans were skilled masons, and Chaco Canyon was the ceremonial, administrative, and economic center of the San Juan Basin with a large sphere of influence.

Inside the main Great House at Chaco Canyon. All walls, even the interior walls were approximately 2 feet thick. This Great House was 4 or 5 stories high, and was built about 950 AD as living quarters for several families. This community was the social and economic center for the Pueblo Indians, and a large assortment of ceremonial rooms were in the complex.

Lower Antelope Canyon, West of Page, Arizona. This location is probably 90 feet underground so the light has bounced off the walls of the canyon at least 3 times to get down here.

Upper Antelope Canyon, West of Page, Arizona. By the time light gets down here it has bounced off the walls at least 3 times.
