Today we went to El Morro, which is a white rock bluff sticking out of the pinon and juniper forest to the south of here and just west of the Continental Divide. It was the site of an ancient Puebloan community and later of anglo and Spanish explorers and settlers carving and graffiti on the rock wall itself.
This is a painting in the small museum of a Spaniard drinking (?) from the oasis, which has been this site's center of activity over the centuries. Today it was partly frozen, but full of green algae and quite a sight in the middle of the dry winter landscape.
