Cedar Mesa - House on Fire

This remarkable ruin is west of Blanding in the area known as Cedar Mesa. Perhaps used as a granary, it is built within a deep overhang and is well protected from the weather.

The fire illusion is only evident when standing in the location where the photograph was made. Moving a little this way or that way and the effect is lost.

This image was shot near high noon when the sunlight bounces back into the ruin. It appears on the 2006 crow Canyon Catalogue Cover and is printed on Fuji Crystal Archive paper.
