Description
The Anasazi were an ancient and mysterious people living in the New Mexico and Arizona area. From around a thousand years ago up until the 1300s, when they suddenly vanished. They built their villages in the cliffs of canyons and built roads and structures that may have been based on astronomical alignment.
This is an archeological site that housed hundreds of families. Large structures called Great Houses were thought to be for ceremonial purposes, but I believe they were parking garages

We have Anasazi ruins in Colorado too...although these look more like the Anasazi Rentals. :) Cool idea, well executed.
what a cool idea, and so wonderfully put together. you're so creative. :)
very well done. VERY differnt, but I really like the way it came out. The textures are very nice, simple yet a powerful image.
parking garages...hahaha! Brilliant image and a hihgly interesting subject - thanks for sharing this with us!!
Anasazi Arces, a little known timeshare venture that went bust around 1280 AD. Nicely done.
I have always wanted to do a picture of cliff dwellings, I never imagined one could be this cool!
He he he... :-) Nice job!
And who gets the Pent-Cliff?
I don't know if you have ever been to Manhattan....nor to my playground as a child, but this, this is 21st and 1st ave, yes Dave, trees on top and all. I am blown away. The curve of the original building is squared off where this is more fluid. OMygosh...Its so fantastic when out of the blue, someones imagination can bring you an actuality.....hahaha...how cool is that? Yes, Dave, there were trees on the top of the buildings...promise.....(= Excellent!
Only thing missing is the piles of Guano-based compost bins...what a great twist on an old idea!
An excellent picture. I think of Anasazi quite often. The drought here makes me think the same thing happened to them...
Ahh, the life of a troglodyte. Must have been tricky to get the windows positioned! Excellent one.
May I get on the list for the penthouse please? Excellent use of creativity Dave. I have no idea how you keep coming up with your incredible ideas! ;)
