Cliff dwellings at Palatki Heritage Site, Coconino National Forest, Arizona.
Please click any photo in the set for full views.
The cliff dwellings here were built by Sinaguan people between 1,100 and 1,400 AD, and probably served two kin groups. In the top photo, the shield-like petrographs painted on the cliff wall are possibly clan emblems.
If you look closely at the bottom photo you can see streaks in the mortar – the imprints of the builders’ fingers preserved for centuries in the clay.

It just occurred to me that the full extent of my time in Chicago this year will be the time I spend captive in the Southwest terminal at Midway, en route to Phoenix. To me one of the most dispiriting things about air travel is a short layover in a city I love, especially if that city is near a sister I love even more but only infrequently see. Sigh.
Photo: Towers along East Randolph Street, reflected in Anish Kapoor’s Cloud Gate (aka, The Bean). For skyline aficionados, the buildings are (from left to right, and mirrored in reverse of their normal orientations) the Jay Pritzker Pavillion, 340 on the Park, the Blue Cross Blue Shield Tower, Aon Center (aka “Big Stan”), Two Prudential Plaza, One Prudential Plaza (constructed in 1955, and still looking mighty good), Millennium Park Plaza, Trump Tower (in distance), Crain Communications (formerly the Smurfit-Stone Building), and The Heritage Millennium Park.
