Series of nocturnal images of ancient Anasazi Ruins. My main interest lies in photographing ancients ruins under the backdrop of the night sky, be it the milky way, full moonlight or star trails.The desert southwest provides this extraordinary opportunity. The stars are always there, whether they are hidden by clouds, light pollution or the light of day. The history of humanity lies within the context of this eternal celestial space.
