A high-angle, vertical photograph looking down into the sandstone ruins of Long House cliff dwelling at Mesa Verde National Park. The foreground features several well-preserved circular stone pits, known as kivas, and multi-level room blocks made of stacked reddish-tan sandstone bricks. Deep shadows from the overhanging canyon alcove stretch across the ruins. In the background, the scene opens up to a steep canyon wall dotted with green pinyon-juniper trees and scrub brush under a bright, clear blue sky. The contrast between the ancient, man-made stone structures and the vast, rugged Colorado wilderness beyond highlights the unique sheltered location of the village.
Architecture carved into the canyon. ποΈβ¨ A quiet afternoon exploring the ruins of Mesa Verde National Park. You can almost feel the stories held within these sandstone walls.

41.851,82.492 The Kizil Caves are a set of Buddhist rock-cut caves located near Kizil Township in Baicheng County, Aksu Prefecture, Xinjiang, China. The site is located on the northern bank of the Muzat River 65 kilometres west of Kucha. This area was a commercial hub of the Silk Road. The caves have an important role in Central Asian art and in the Silk Road transmission of Buddhism, and are said to be the earliest major Buddhist cave complex in China, with development occurring between the 3rd and 8th centuries CE. The caves of Kizil are the earlier of their type in China, and their model was later adopted in the construction of Buddhist caves further east. Another name for the site has been Ming-oi (), although this term is now mainly used for the site of Shorchuk to the east.
