Mesa Verde National Park, CO (Sept 2023)

Cliff Palace. You need a special tour guided by a ranger to access any of the cliff dwellings, and this hike involves climbing several long ladders along with many strangers. A fascinating, powerful place that has led me to researching more of the indigenous history of the place that I live.

Engulfed in Memories to Share with Mesa Verde National Park by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the southeast while taking in views across cliff dwellings present at the Spruce Tree House in Mesa Verde National Park. This is from an overlook walk while I began hiking the Petroglyph Point Trail. My thought on composing this image was to capture of you of the cliff dwellings and have them run across the image center. I've pulled back a little more on the focal length so that I could include some of the trees and nearby surroundings as a foreground interest and have a layered look beyond. The cliff wall above was also important as it added to the setting and story for how the Ancestral Puebloan people would have to go up and down the walls to get to those dwellings.

Cliff Palace, Mesa Verde National Park (No. 13)

Cliff Palace is the largest cliff dwelling in North America. The structure built by the Ancestral Puebloans is located in Mesa Verde National Park in their former homeland region. The cliff dwelling and park are in Montezuma County, in the southwestern corner of Colorado, in the Southwestern United States.

Tree-ring dating indicates that construction and refurbishing of Cliff Palace was continuous approximately from 1190 CE through 1260 CE, although the major portion of the building was done within a 20-year time span. The Ancestral Puebloans, also known as Anasazi, who constructed this cliff dwelling and the others like it at Mesa Verde were driven to these defensible positions by "increasing competition amidst changing climatic conditions". Cliff Palace was abandoned by 1300, though debate is ongoing as to the cause. Some contend that a series of megadroughts interrupting food production systems was the main cause.

Cliff Palace was rediscovered in 1888 by Richard Wetherill and Charlie Mason while they were looking for stray cattle.

Planned to Visit in 2020, But Delayed Because of a Pandemic to 2023! (Mesa Verde National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While walking the Petroglyph Point Trail and a view looking to the southeast to the Spruce Tree House and cliff dwelling. This is located in Mesa Verde National Park. My thought on composing this image was to pull back on the focal length and include the surrounding landscape to add flavor to this Ancestral Puebloan site and national park in Colorado. I liked the layered look with the nearby rock wall and trees that made it seem like a look beyond to those cliff dwelling on the other side of the mesa. I did some initial post-processing work making adjustments to contrast, brightness and saturation while playing around as I learned how to work with DxO PhotoLab 7. I then exported a TIFF image to Nik Color Efex Pro 4 where I added a Polarization, Foliage, and Pro Contrast filter for that last effect on the image captured. The caption for the image was a reference to the fact that I had planned to make this visit and trip in April 2020, but the world kind of shut down with the beginning of the Covid pandemic. I was able to plan out for this national park visit back in September 2023 and savored this moment as a "finally!"
