Teepee's

Took this shot yesterday morning. I had to crop the photo because the original shot with my new camera was to large to load on this site it said. These teepee's sit outside the Ute museum in Montrose Colorado. If you ever get buy this way I think it's worth the stop to visit the museum and it doesn't cost a lot. I think it was like 6 or 7 bucks when I stopped for a visit last winter. They have some very beautiful bead-work items to see in the museum.

Cool. I always load my pics into documents, then I open them with paint, click on image, then resize/skew. I scale them down to 20 x 20 and save that version, and that loads up pretty easily. You could probably do a little bigger, but I wouldn't go smaller.

Do they have the doors facing east? Looks like it from the pic, since you snapped the shot in the morning.

Don't crop your photos, re-size them. IrfanView is a free program that is very easy to resize and has lots of other advanced features. After you install Irfanview open you photo, click image, click resize/Resample, then either manually change the width/height, or choose the section below and put in a percentage of the originator size, save to a new name and upload.

Yes they do face east. Same as this Hogan does, that I stopped at in Kayenta Arizona yesterday around high noon, to make some work calls out of. It's a great place to escape the heat and catch up on some calls. Unlike the weather up in the San Juan's, Arizona is still pretty warm and sunny.

Facing east often is a big deal with Native Americans not only the doorways, even in some traditions they will load tobacco into that pipe first, holding it stem pointing east represents the rising sun.
