One of the kivas at the Spruce House ruin at Mesa Verde in Colorado. The kiva is under the circular area with the ladder's poles coming out of its entrance. I used Topaz Impression to make a sketch,ran it through Topaz Restyle for the tinting, and did some dodging and burning in Photoshop.

Spooky effect Jerry -- the upper background suggests (to me anyway) a bazillion bats taking flight!

If I remember right, there were swallows. But I was there at the wrong time for bats :)

Dark and deep...yikes! A spooky place! You've really created a strong impression of ancient .....gloom? The light is nice though. :)
