In this image I was struck by the large boulder in the upper right, and the few white bricks.   I could not tell if that boulder was a natural element they built the pueblo around or if it was placed there on purpose.  There are not many rocks like this one in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During processing I converted the image to black, white, and gray, and maxed out Texture and Clarity to emphasize brick edges and texture of the mortar between bricks.  Initially, I thought that was too much Texture and Clarity.  Overtime the look grew on me and here you have it.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wupatki National Monument: <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/LH1DNhjpGfA6jbNb7\" title=\"\">35.521093\u00b0 -111.372855\u00b0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nikon D810, 32mm, ISO 200, 1\/10 sec, f\/11 One thing I noticed during my quick&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[552],"tags":[677,618,714,713],"class_list":["post-2831","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-arizona","tag-arizona","tag-photography","tag-wupatki-pueblo","tag-wuptaki-national-monument"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2831","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2831"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2831\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2846,"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2831\/revisions\/2846"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2831"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2831"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2831"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
