BistiArt > Anasazi Moon A Bisti image and a moon image are superimposed. With Blending Options in Photoshop, the moon is skillfully placed behind the subtle atmospheric change Gaylen Rowell called the Edge of Light. Edge of Light is that transition from direct (pink) to indirect (blue - reflected) light at sunset. Members of Enchanted Lens Camera Club voted Anasazi Moon their Member's Choice 1st - Place Landscape.
BistiArt > Pithouse Life Atop Chapin Mesa, restored remnants of Anasazi pithouses let us see how the Anasazi lived during Basketmaker III time about 550-750 AD. From Chapin Mesa at Mesa Verde to Lowry Pueblo northwest of Cortez to Canyons of the Ancients and, finally, to many un-restored pithouses on Cedar Mesa, Anasazi lived in an early life style for about 200 years. A pithouse was dug into the ground a few feet, then covered with trees, brush, and dirt. This composite site is actually two pithouses. With a fire pit only 6 feet below a ceiling laced with sticks and timber repeatedly dried by many cooking fires – the Anasazi lived in a potential fire hazard. The bigger room is actually the first pithouse ~ which burned to the ground some time after 674 AD. Archeologists suggest pithouses had a normal life of 20 years; providing they escaped fire!
BistiArt > Citadel Even more remote than Moon House, Citadel housed about the same number of families on Cedar Mesa. A major difference was protected egress; this time, the Anasazi lived in a small structure along narrow causeway of rock. Steep canyon walls fall away to deep stream beds. Both ruins occupy the same canyon level; a sandy shale unit beneath the towering brow of a guardian cliff. Bears Ears, distant sacred mountains of the Ute, are about to witness another in a very, very long cycle of sundown's.
BistiArt > Fallen Roof Up canyon from Citadel, another small ruin underlies an unusual ceiling. Ancient sandstone layers are slowly breaking away from beneath an overhanging cliff’s brow. Plate sized remnants clutter the ground, lying where they landed. Evening sun's westerly reflection enhances a golden underbelly, with a sense of 'fallen roof...'.
BistiArt > Pueblo del Arroyo A picture of this window appears in the Sofaer Solstice Report showing a minor lunar standstill moon centered in the window.
BistiArt > Fajada Moon Fajada Butte, home of the famous Sun Dagger, as the Edge of Light rises in the background. The moon is well above in the direct pink light.
BistiArt > Chaco Moon Two days before full moon, the foreground edge of Fajada Butte in shadow and the background edge of Chaco Mesa underly a soft, swiftly rising moon.
BistiArt > Cochise' Moon A towering cliff wall seems to be Cochise glaring down with lowered brow on a rising moon. Is that the nose of his grandfather just below?
