Photos from this month’s retro photo album titled: Chaco and Bandelier, May 23, 2007.
Between AD 900 and 1150, Chaco Canyon was a major center of culture for the Ancestral Puebloans. Chacoans quarried sandstone blocks and hauled timber from great distances, assembling fifteen major complexes that remained the largest buildings ever built in North America until the 19th century.
The architectural beauty takes one’s breath away. A special feature is all its many doors.
A corridor of doorways inside Pueblo Bonito.
The mysterious T-shaped door abounds at Chaco.

My books Memory Road Trip (e-book or paperback) and Time Traveled (e-book or paperback) are both available! You can also find them at most major international book sites.
