I took the picture about 5 PM. The soft light illuminated from the front and reflected from the concave walls of the alcove to reveal the subtle colors of the scene.

Wonderful capture - I love the lighting and colors, and this fascinating look at the houses from so long ago!

Thanks for your compliments. The village was in a huge shadowed alcove in the side of a cliff. I shot it from about a quarter mile away with the camera steadied on a handrail. When there, it's easy to imagine the inhabitants growing crops, making objects from local materials, defending against marauders...

Wow, Harvey this is a stunning image. You really did a great job capturing the detail of such a large expanse. The color is wonderful.
