Untitled

in remote CLIFTON, Arizona, built in 1911 when Arizona was not even a

state, and Native Americans were still being forced onto

reservations, THIS Courthouse was the seat of power in this remote

area. It is still so. Well-preserved and high upon a hill, the

message here is one of power. Many native Americans have now returned

to work in the giant coppermine right up the highway from this place.

Photographed on a late Saturday afternoon, no polarizer used.
