Spruce Tree House, the third largest cliff dwelling, in Mesa Verde National Park. Located in Southwestern Colorado, Mesa Verde National Park offers insight into the lives of the Ancestral Pueblo people who made it their home for over 700 years.
One can enter the world of the Ancient Ones through this ladder, going down into a Kiva, or ceremonial chamber.
As I captured this photograph with my old Canon 5D, I was fortunate enough to have the Kiva all to myself (which is normally crowded with tourists) for about 10-15 minutes. This led to this photograph and a moment of spiritual reflection.
Merry Christmas!
