Bygone Glory

Once this was a bustling city, part of the Ancient Puebloan/Chacoan civilization found in the canyonlands of what is now the Southwestern USA. It is now silent, abandoned seven centuries ago. I gaze at the empty ruins, contemplating the lives of the residents and thinking about their lost paradise.
