Hi !

1. One of the many beautiful side canyons, on the east side of the Frijoles Canyon (the main valley).
2. Looking up
3. The "center of village", this is the largest collection of cliff dwellings at Bandalier.
4. The same wall (east side, dwellings) again, this time from the bottom of the Frijoles Canyon. And look at that sky !
5. Swiss cheese ?
6. Ain't he cute ? The squirrels at Bandalier obviously do not know danger, you could approach them really close and they did not run away.
7. Miracles of nature. Doesn't it look like the twisted front of some cathedral or roman temple ?
8. Kermit the frog. Doesn't it look like one ?
9. Rock formations at the ceremonial cave.
10. More miracles
11. Doesn't this cactus look quite religious?
12. Refractions
13. More swiss cheese
14. A free appartment. Strangely enough there was no sign "for rent".
15. Scary !
16. Looking up again
17. This is no longer Bandalier National Monument, but the Hotel Santa Fe.



Back home ?
