Canyon de Chelly, Arizona

Of all the cliff dwellings in the American Southwest, the White House Ruin of Canyon de Chelly is one of the most iconic. Set deep in a canyon below a soaring overhang of streaked sandstone, it inspires you to wonder what life would have been like here when it was built, almost 1,000 years ago.

Each image in this gallery has been prepared for printing on photographic paper, canvas, and metal, as well as optimized for digital download and display.
