Pawnee Buttes on the plains Ceramic Art Tile
$22.00
Two sandstone-capped buttes rising about 250 feet above the shortgrass plains of Weld County, northeastern Colorado. From the trailhead the path drops into a small wash and the buttes appear one at a time, the way they do when you come at them on foot. James Michener used them in Centennial; he called them Rattlesnake Buttes. Most of the year you can walk to the base of the west butte. From March through June the north side closes for the raptors nesting in the cliffs: golden eagles, prairie falcons, ferruginous hawks. No shade. No water. Bring both.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
