Fajada Butte , Chaco Canyon , New Mexico

Chaco Canyon was used by the Anasazi people until about 800 years ago . Current thinking is that it was only inhabited during special ceremonies and then everybody went back to small communities outside the canyon . At the top of Fajada Butte there is an observatory of sorts where light falls in special formations on the summer solstice and spring and fall equinoxes .
I used a slow shutter speed to minimize the effect of light snowfall .

    Thanks for the comment Antonio . My scanner is excellent , but trying to stay inside 150k , compression kills .

    This is nice, but pay attemption to the DOF ( Deep of field).
    I think that you are digitalizing your photos from paper photos, and this is also a problem because they lost a lot of qualitty if the scanner is not a very good one.
    Greetings
