Taos Pueblo, thought to be one of the longest continually inhabited communities in the US was built by the Northern Tiwa tribe between 1000 and 1450 AD. It sits at the foot of the Sangre De Christo mountains. These buildings are all made the traditional way of adobe. About 180 tribe members live there year round while another 1800 more live on the adjacent pueblo lands. Sections of the pueblo are open to the public and native artists sell hand made jewelry, artwork, drums, and native food. We were lucky enough to be in the drum shop when the drum maker played a huge drum made from what must have been a very old tree, covered with treated animal hide and hung from the ceiling. I am 5 ft 10 in and the drum was taller than I am. It resonated down to your bones. Just an incredible experience. If you would like to learn more about Taos Pueblo here is a link to its history.

Just to clarify, that is ebrunner's rule. It is mentioned here, but it came up awhile back when someone posted 4 or 5

Really basic work on this one because I really like it as is! (Except for the sensor dust, of course!) I love the texture Rborud added, but I don't know how to do that.

Great LR skills! I don't use it that often to edit.

You did a fine a job! You can usually enhance the texture in a photo by increasing the contrast. With both LR and PS you can do that in selective areas rather than the whole photo.

It makes me think of all those great B&W westerns on TV.

Ah I see someone has either been reading Carlos Castaneda or Tom Wolfe. Very visionary!
