I wonder what it was like when inhabited? Probably with something covering the stones. Nice photo of a well preserved and well hidden habitat. Keep up the good work! :-)

One can tell this is from 2012 (right? if I recall correctly), because your zooms are smaller than now. In any case, you caught/cropped a perfect slice of these oppressive stone 'ceilings', and the deep cloistered feeling of the interior, and the long sweeps of the stone over the dwellings. And you have deep contrast between the reds and oranges of the upper half and the bright yellows and beiges of the lower. Very thoughtfully composed. And, with the darker hues on top, it only accentuates the top-heavy feel of these places all the more...a very sensitive series of shots.
