DescriptionAn arial view of a curved section of Pueblo Bonito, Chaco Canyon, New Mexico. A rounded bolder emerged from the left side of the frame, high on the mesa overlooking the ruins. Below, between two ruins, is a circular dirt drive. On the right is a tall clay wall crumbling and absent in certain sections. Within the wall, are built up earthen walls creating square and circular compartments that are built deep into the ground. Beyond the ruins is a desert floor with shrubs scattered about.On View
