A very beautiful shot and a nice reminder of these Native Americans who live there. I'm impressed with their way of life, when we use so much energy and water : we should learn from them how to live in harmony with nature and environment because we're wrong and they're right !

Here are another few of those amazing adobes, thanks for sharing them with us Bob, they are simply magnificent and I am so glad, that they carry on with the old traditions living there ... those thick walls must be perfect to keep the big heat out and the cold out? marvellous Bob, BB
