Squashed granary
Anasazi ruins fascinate me. It’s an architecture built to fit seamlessly into the landscape, making use of its contours for protection.
This tiny granary is one of hundreds littering the alcoves of the Cedar Mesa, the towering alcove offering protection from the elements, yet seeming to bear all its weight onto the granary roof accounting for its stunted and diminutive form. Here the opposing canyon wall reflects the morning sun creating reflected light that bathes this granary and it's giant alcove in hues of red and yellow.
