Sunset Echoes

Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado

Sunset, golden hour light in late winter on Square Tower House in Colorado's Mesa Verde National Park. Fittingly, W.H. Jackson, a 19th century pioneer/explorer photographer and long-time Denver resident, was one of the first European-Americans to visit Mesa Verde, near present-day Cortez, Colorado. Jackson, of course, could only photograph the Mesa Verde ruins in orthochromatic black and white using wet plate, albumen materials. At age 90, during a retrospective career showing of his work, he confided to Ansel Adams that if he could, he would do it all over again...in color. Here is my own color photograph of Square Tower House, one of a handful of gems of Mesa Verde Ancient Puebloan ruins. Each of the Ancient Puebloan sites I have seen have a hauntingly beautiful quality to them. The knowledge that people who lived thousands of years ago, who lacked the modern-day sophisticated technologies we have become accustomed to, could build structures that survive to our time, and to know that people kin to us built and inhabited these structures, planted and harvest crops, gathered and learned about native plants, hunted, cooked, gave birth and raised children in these homes is a sobering thought. How hard life must have been for them. And yet, being human, how much joy and laughter they must have shared in working and sharing life in their families and their communities. Sober thoughts aside, I can also appreciate the architecture of Square Tower House, the lighting, the shadows, the broken cliff face that rises above the Square Tower like smoke from a fire, from a purely aesthetic view. The ruin forms an architectual sculpture, wide and intricate at the base and rising upward to meet and meld with the cleft in the cliff face. Beauty and artifice all in the one setting--an ancient ruin and modern art. Photo © copyright by Michael Lynn Roberts.
