Description

Taos Pueblo is the only living Native American community designated both a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and a National Historic Landmark. The multi-storied adobe buildings have been continuously inhabited for over 1000 years. We welcome you to visit our village when you travel to northern New Mexico. Taos Pueblo Hours: Monday - Saturday 8:00am-4:30pm and Sunday 8:30am-4:30pm.http://www.taospueblo.com/ I was there on the 19 Sept. Taos Pueblo (or Pueblo de Taos) is an ancient pueblo belonging to a Taos (Northern Tiwa) speaking Native American tribe of Pueblo people. It is approximately 1000 years old and lies about 1 mile (1.6 km) north of the modern city of Taos, New Mexico, USA. The Red Willow Creek, or Rio Pueblo de Taos (also called Rio Pueblo), is a small stream which flows through the middle of the pueblo from its source in the Sangre de Cristo Range. A reservation of 95,000 acres (384 km²) is attached to the pueblo, and about 1,900 people live in this area.[3] Taos Pueblo is a member of the Eight Northern Pueblos. The Taos community is known for being one of the most secretive and conservative pueblos. Taos Pueblo's most prominent architectural feature is a multi-storied residential complex of reddish-brown adobe divided into two parts by the Rio Pueblo. According to the Pueblo's Web site, it was probably built between 1000 and 1450 A.D. It was designated a National Historic Landmark on October 9, 1960, and in 1992 became a World Heritage Site. As of 2006, about 150 people live in it full-time with no running water nor electricity.cooking on wood stoves or in their earthen ovens wikipedia

Interesting place Richard, love how the ground colour runs on into the wall colouring, you can have any coloured house so long as its terracotta brown.. It always amuses me that round log that sticks out of the top of the wall, must be the hanging stick lol.. I wonder what work someone out here would do it seems so barren.. Nice capture Richard well done!
