Cahokia sunset

On this day in 2017, we were high-tailing it for Seattle, stopping briefly to watch the sun set at what was once a regional center-of-the-world, now a place called Cahokia, in the state of Illinois. Before it got this dark, we watched the deer come in to feed on the open ground around the many, many civic-ceremonial mounds that remain.
