A few weeks ago we wrapped up the Instructor-Led version of the A Sense of Place eCourse. To encourage the participants to follow through and complete a final project, I offered up guest post slots on my blog. The content was wide open, whatever they were inspired by from the eCourse. I’ve enjoyed sharing the posts from class participants this week, and today is the last. Please leave lots of comment love for the guest authors!
A Sense of Place: Mesa Verde
The Mesa Verde Cliff Dwellings in Colorado are some of the most intriguing places I’ve visited. Viewing and wandering around in these ancient dwellings gives one the sense of how this group of people lived from 500 BC to 1200 BC, how difficult life was, how challenging each day might have been for them. One stands in the midst of the ruins that have survived for thousands of years and marvels at the genius of the builders, to have their creations survive for so long in the elements. It’s truly an awe-inspiring place.

Wow, that looks an amazing place.
I am drawn to places like this. I’ve had the good fortune to have visited sites in Arizona and New Mexico. Once there I just want to stand still hoping the soak in the feelings and life of these once robust communities. These areas are also so meditative for me. Thank you for sharing your images.
