The Old Cattle Shute , Honoanki , Arizona
It rained . I drove a long distance over rough red dirt roads to this remote sacred place . I was looking for cliff dwellings but the presence of the cattle shute interrupted my search. Abandoned in early 1970 it remains as an icon to how the rough terrain was once farmed .
There is an echo that passes across the red rock cliffs of bygone cattle and peoples . I could feel it I was very much alone .
