This photo shows a section of one of the walls (almost obscured by my copyright notice) of Una Vida Pueblo in Chaco Canyon, part of the Chaco Culture National Historic Park in New Mexico. It also shows the southern portion of the valley and Fajada Butte. This butte has religious significance to the ancients. Part way up this butte is a spiral petroglyph which is pierced by a sunbeam shining between two boulders only at the equinoxes. At this point in time, the butte is closed to all visitors.
