Wukoki Pueblo at Wupatki National Monument.

Moods of Wukoki 7

Posted by Steve Rice (Olympia, United States) on 13 December 2009 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

This is the final image in the series comprised of my two visits to Wupatki National Monument. It's a modest part of the National Park System but a real gem none the less. I'll be back.

A fine, last shot! I like the ruddy look of the ruins, but the addition of the moon and a planet appearing just right among the clouds adds a superb final touch. Excellent series.
