BistiArt > Moon House Moon House is located in a remote canyon of Cedar Mesa. Some climbing is involved to get in and out. Pictographs are prominent behind the long wall which protects the living quarters. The nature of solitary placement and complex egress combine to provide the photographer with a much more direct sense of being in a true Anasazi ruin. Six images were taken at different exposures to capture the high dynamic range of early morning's panoramic scene.
BistiArt > Bullet Cataract Bullet Canyon, located south of Grand Gulch ranger station, is west of Highway 261 which bisects Cedar Mesa. Numerous Anasazi ruins occur in Grand Gulch. The cataract is down canyon from the parking space. While it's easy to traverse, just the sense of a wall of water rushing at you from a monsoon rain storm adds to the incredible vision of this remarkable canyon sluice way. Local terms for this sort of structure suggest a pour off.
BistiArt > Cave Tower This image shows the same tower as the prior image; it's red hues, emblazoned by the sunset, are enhanced by the deep blue of the evening sky. Three images were taken at different exposures to capture the high dynamic range of the late evening scene. The HDR combination creates this provocative image.
BistiArt > Cave Towers Canyon Dry Wash is located west of Comb Ridge, near Blanding, Utah. Several minor ruins are located near the cliff edge of Dry Wash. Three images were taken at different exposures to capture the high dynamic range of the late evening scene. The image won an award in a judge's competition at the Enchanted Lens Camera Club in 2007.
BistiArt > Hovenweep Castle Located just across the Utah border from Canyons of the Ancients National Monument, this ruin is built atop a cliff. The cloud pattern would presage a pushy day of 60 mile an hour winds. Careful examination of the wall beneath the crow showed this was a long-time favorite place to land.
BistiArt > Sleeping Ute Sunset Coming off the mesa at dark, a stray reflection in the rear view mirror netted this gorgeous sunset over Sleeping Ute Mountain west of Cortez, Colorado. "Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Walk beside me that we may be as one." _Ute proverb This Ute proverb is part of a banner from the College Campus Compact to the President of Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado. The image won an award in a judge's competition at the Enchanted Lens Camera Club in 2007.
BistiArt > No Name Ruin A small ruin located west of Cliff Palace in a side canyon, this ruin is presently unnamed. The light was almost gone that late September evening. Yet, it could still illuminate the grotto where the ruin stood behind a barrier of trees. The great cliff towering above protected over half the horizon, capturing sun's warmth during winters cold climes. This small tower is reminiscent of so many dwellings found through out the central Mesa Verde Anasazi Region.
BistiArt > Cliff Palace In the 125 years since Richard Wetherill, hunting for cattle, discovered Cliff Palace one snowy December, it has become a world-wide icon commemorating our heritage of Anasazi cliff dwellings. Shadows are slowly beginning to creep across distant walls, swallows are swooping from beneath the roof, and the ranger let me stay behind, for just a moment, to capture this gorgeous image. Today, there are no children running about screaming with glee. Instead, we have the simple majesty of a civilizations historic remnants, falling into disarray.
