For the Hopi, Navajo and Pueblo peoples of New Mexico, what remains of the extensive pueblo ruins of Chaco Culture National Historical Park is an important part of their ancestral homeland. Built between 850 and 1150 A.D. it's a special place where descendants of the ancient pueblo inhabitants return to pray and honor the spirits of their ancestors.

Wonder edit. I like the use of the statues and the POV. Your patience in waiting for the Sun to get in the right position paid off. May the spirits of the Pueblo bring you back.
