House on Fire ruin in Mule Canyon in Utah, USA. This ancient Puebloan cliff dwelling can be found in the Shash Jaa Unit of the Bears Ears National Monument. Its name is derived from the flame-shaped sandstone patterns of the ceiling of the alcove, glowing orange from the light reflected off the sandstone floor. It is believed to be around 1,000 year old.
