Square Tower House

Mesa Verde National Park

The four story tower in this 13th century Anasazi ruin was originally just the back part of a pueblo
that stepped up to meet its fourth floor. Most of the front portion of the pueblo collapsed long
ago, leaving the rear to tower over the remaining ruins.

Fantastic! I bet the back walls are well insulated ;-) Love the tonal range and muted colors. V

What an amazing image. At first glance I thought it was a model but your fascinating commentary has corrected that thought. Splendid. V
