In 2006 I had two times the opportunity to migrate into the valley of the Havasupai Indians and see this magnificent waterfall and take pictures of course. Unfortunately, destroyed a flood in 2008 a part of the beautiful lime sinter terraces .
The Havasupai Indians are also called "the people of the blue-green water". Blue-green has been the water the day before. In the night, however, it had rained heavily in the mountains, so that in the early morning a red-brown muddy broth rolled into the valley, probably a not-often-seen drama.
Unfortunately, a strong wind blew, so a fine spray of dirty water dyed everything including the camera.
In 2006 hatte ich zwei mal die Gelegenheit, in das Tal der Havasupai Indianer zu wandern und diesen großartigen Wasserfall zu sehen und natürlich zu fotografieren. Leider zerstörte eine Flut im Jahr 2008 einen Teil der schönen Kalk-Sinter-Terrassen.
Die Havasupai Indianer werden auch "die Leute vom blaugrünen Wasser" genannt. Blau-grün ist das Wasser auch am Tag vorher gewesen. In der Nacht hatte es jedoch in den Bergen stark geregnet, so dass sich am frühen Morgen überraschend eine rot-braune schlammige Brühe in das Tal wälzte, vermutlich ein nicht oft gesehenes Schauspiel.
Leider wehte ein starker Wind, weshalb sich ein feiner Sprühnebel des schmutzigen Wassers auf alles einschliesslich der Kamera legte.
Danke für deinen Besuch! Thanks for visiting!

Sitting Bull war ein wichtiger Anführer der Sioux-Indianer und forcierte deren Widerstand Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts gegen die Landnahme amerikanischer Siedler und deren militärische Unterstützung. Er war ein Medizinmann und auch einer der mächtigsten Kriegshäuptlinge der Sioux. In zuletzt genannter Funktion wurde er weltberühmt, vor allem durch sein Wirken bei der Schlacht am Little Bighorn von 1876.
An der strategischen Schlachtführung waren neben ihm auch weitere Kriegshäuptlinge beteiligt, wie beispielsweise Crazy Horse und Big Foot. Sie leiteten die Krieger der Stämme der Sioux, Cheyenne und Arapaho an, die vereint das 7. Kavallerie-Regiment unter Oberstleutnant George A. Custer am Little Big Horn vernichtend schlugen. Dies und der Tod Custers war die größte Niederlage der US-Armee während der Indianerkriege.

Do not regret growing older - It is a privilege denied to many.
Consider the advice from your elders : not because they are always right but because of the wisdom they have gleaned from being wrong. Two more below.
P.S I always listened to my Grandma, she was right about men ;-)

Love the Indian artifacts. I've been fortunate enough to find quite a few here in Missouri. In fact, almost any decent sized creek or river area usually has them around. For thousands and thousands of years our land has been used. There's quite a feeling finding these in the dirt where they lay, last touched by a human being many years ago. It is quite humbling.
Sorry about the poor quality of some of these photos - the light was dim and I was photographing through thick glass.

A lower-level entrance to one of the individual homes that comprise the five story Hlauuma (North House). The structure is made from adobe which consists of earth, water and straw. The exterior surface of the building is replastered annually.
Native American petroglyphs in a cave in Joshua Tree, probably indicating food and water sources. The “fresh paint” isn’t original - the faint originals were painted over by an unknown person at some point to make them more visible. A park placard refers to the overpainting as vandalism.

First time shooting with Yanna yesterday. She suggested a native American indian theme, which I readily accepted, as I like to work to a style, and we combined our wardrobes to create the effects.
Tuzigoot is an ancient village or pueblo built by a culture known as the Sinagua. The pueblo consisted of 110 rooms including second and third story structures. The first buildings were built around A.D. 1000. The Sinagua were agriculturalists with trade connections that spanned hundreds of miles. The people left the area around 1400. The site is currently comprised of 42 acres.
Tuzigoot is Apache for "crooked water", from nearby Peck's lake, a cutoff meander of the Verde River.
The Sinagua were a pre-Columbian cultural group occupying an area in central Arizona between the Little Colorado River and the Salt River (between Flagstaff and Phoenix) including the Verde Valley and significant portions of the Mogollon Rim country between approximately 500 AD and 1425 AD. Some archaeologists have referred to the Sinagua as the Western Anasazi.
Early Sinagua sites consist of pit houses. Later structures more closely resembled the pueblo architecture found in other cultures throughout the southwestern United States. The Sinagua economy was based on a combination of hunter-gatherer foraging and subsistence agriculture.
The name Sinagua was given to this culture by archaeologist Harold Colton, founder of the Museum of Northern Arizona. Sinagua is derived from the Spanish words sin meaning "without" and agua meaning "water", referring to the name originally given by Spanish explorers to the San Francisco Peaks near Flagstaff, Arizona, the "Sierra Sin Agua". The name reflects the surprise the Spaniards felt that such large mountains did not have perennial rivers flowing from them as is common in Spain.
