I am guessing this is New Mexico. I love the way the color pops out from the earth colored adobe dwellings. The framing to me is a bit overpowering, but great to see these historic buildings.

Gorgeous composition. The colors dominate. Splendid building, very interesting. Warmly satisfying to know it's still thriving....unlike the ranch/barn photos.

This is an amazing capture and I can't believe that I am looking at a 1000 year old design. This is a fantastic share and education for the folks that have found your gallery. Dana

The Taos (Northern Tiwa)Tribe chose a beautiful backdrop for their home. It is wonderful that these Native Americans have preserved so much of their culture.
