Canyon de Chelly (Page 3): Ah! Thank you! Been a while since I'd written any html, and it seems things have changed. Can't wait to do some BOLD italicizing soon.

I like the first picture.

BTW, if you use brackets [ ] around the i and /i instead of the greater than and less than signs < > you would get the italics you wanted. 'canyon duh-shay.'
Being relatively new here I wasn't sure if you were aware of that.

I like the B/W version of the cliff dwellings better, but my favorite is the first shot. Nice framing with the tree. I can see how someone could get recharged.👍

Beautiful series of pictures of a quiet, peaceful place. They tell a story that moving and subjective. A wonderful place to visit. thanks for sharing.

Wonderful shots as always. I am so glad that you didn't shoot any of the woman as they have signs up, asking you not to shoot pictures of the residents of the canyon. Good job.

'...didn't shoot any of the woman...' Along those lines, I visit Hopi fairly regularly. Despite being unutterably beautiful --in a stark, Painted Desert sort of way-- I never shoot there. My friendships are worth more to me than some pretty images.

Beautiful images. I will be visiting again in late April. I've been going almost every year for the past eleven years. I believe one of the sisters you mentioned lives at the bottom of the trail leading down to the white house ruins. I have seen her walking up and down the trail. The next time I see her I'm going to ask her if I can photograph her. She may say no. She has a sign on the fence to her place that says no photos. I thought that I might offer some kind of financial incentive. You never know. Some times they would just like the courtesy of being asked. I love the area and have come to really like the people. I have been fortunate enough to make a few friends over the years.

Love the pic of the tree - big diff between 'posted' and 'downloaded'. Almost a bit of an 'HDR' feel but very well done. Nice, nice pic!

I have to agree. Absolutely glorious in all its full detail!

Do as you see fit. Or do as she sees fit. You might want to speak with the friends you already have there, first. You might make a new friend, even if you don't get a portrait.

BTW, I've seen your posts and your avatar. Seems there's a connection.

Cany, Magnificent shots especially the shot of the "living quarters under the cliff".
I spent some time there also about 35 years ago. The history of the peoples there also was very intriguing.
Thanks for the shots. Now I'll have to go through my 1000's of slides to find my shots. If I do find them I'll post them, IF they are even close to yours.
