Fallen Roof Ruin
Time has taken its toll on this ancient Anasazi granary. The alcove over the ruin has slowly been splintering and collapsing since its occupants abandoned Cedar Mesa.
The weathering has created wonderful patterns in the rock above -- giving this granary it's moniker; Fallen Roof Ruin.
Light in this backcountry location is wonderful, sunlight bounces off the alcove floors, the incident rays creating deep oranges and yellows that can be glimpsed fleetingly before the sun climbs above the canyon walls.
