New Mexico Trip: More Doors

Jewish Center, Albuquerque

Abandoned building, Laguna Pueblo
This helped me to envision how Chaco Canyon dwellings may have looked when masonry was covered with thin layers of plaster.

Chetro Ketl in Chaco Canyon
Lt. Simpson's guide during the Army's 1849 expedition said Chetro Ketl means "rain pueblo."

Door in Albuquerque

At bottom of Acoma Pueblo Mesa
This is my favorite door, with the bushes growing inside the abandoned (and roofless) abode. Life goes on without human habitation.

Jan, these are all so provacative...it would be so cool to use them in some sort of retreat setting. Thanks for continuing to share them.
