Repairs, Acoma Pueblo<br> United States picture - Much of the Acoma Pueblo was built in the 16th and 17th centuries from materials hand carried up the steep slopes of a 367 foot high mesa. There is no electricity, and those who live here want it that way. The old buildings require maintenance and that is what is happening here. The place is called Sky City, and on this day, its own sky offered both contrails and a "sun dog," a halo caused by ice crystals in the sky..
