    So looks like Chaco, doesn’t it? Except for the scale and the fact that there are some living plants…Nice!

    Your words are wonderfully spine tingling…a good thing. Love the photo too. I often take photos of windows/holes in walls. Seeing through…?

    Nice combination of picture and poetry. Shadow songs and ancestral spirits just seem to go together. Great job.

    I remember learning about those small openings for the spirits. Our guide didn’t express the story so beautifully though. Thank you.

    I’m not sure I can express or explain how this makes me feel, except to say that it gives me tingles.

    Thanks for your comment. My shadow is from a roller shutter.
