A Portal and Setting Framed (Chaco Culture National Historical Park)

While walking around the Pueblo Bonito area of Chaco Culture National Historical Park. The view is looking to the north through a set of passageways. My thought in composing the image was to align myself, so that I could capture one passageway after the other through the sets of walls. I liked the look as it kind of reminded me of a mirror view I’ve come across, where you see a mirror and then another mirror within that mirror, and then another mirror, looking off into the setting.
