SPA-Houses-Taos Pueblo


As I was thinking about this theme, I decided to Google Images for House. After about a million photos of Dr. House, I tried "houses," and was treated with images of everything from igloos, animal hide tents and mud huts to stately mansions, cute cottages and art to live in by Frank Lloyd Wright. I thought about all the different tpyes of houses there are...which brought me to Taos Pueblo, where Native Americans have been living for almost a thousand years. It is one of the oldest contunually inhabited communities in the United States.

The photo of the pueblo is mine. I used a texture by Temari09 from T4L, and the heiroglyphs are from a photo of the Sanders Family Buffalo Robe. Kokopelli is a brush.
