Acoma Pueblo, New Mexico

Sometimes empty streets tell the story of its people, especially when you know they are looking at you from behind the curtains or dark, small windows since they do not want their pictures taken.
A pueblo is a North American Indian village and New Mexico is the home of pueblos. Most are still inhabited and the pueblo of Acoma is a continuously inhabited village in the region, perhaps since the 8th century. Among the favorite visiting places of tourists, this village is similar to others in its offering of pottery, silver jewelry, and picturesque hiking. Indeed, the village is built on an enormous rock which one has to climb through narrow passes where only one person fits at a time.
During the day people stay inside avoiding the desert heat and makes the pueblo look deserted.
