Cliff dwellings

Another in this series of three showing buildings in the region. These houses were actually situated on a ledge with a sheer drop in front of them.

The houses look totally out of place in this environment - not a place for garden enthusiasts !! Great shot Tim V

Very impressive rockformation behind those houses. I would not feel safe living there.

What a barren place to live! And I don't think I'd like those lose rocks. V

Dangerous living under those rocks! Were you in a car or bus, I can see something odd in the top left corner! v

Whoa! Looks rather dicey to me! Nicely seen, Tim! V

Talk about being in the rocks!!!! I think that they need a "Caution, falling Rock" sign. there. Some rocks look like they are ready to come down. This is an amazing capture, Helen. Great work. V.
