Purpose
When I'm looking for great hikes I sometimes search online for photos of different areas. This website exists to return the favor.

Hillhaus.com has been hosted on Dreamhost since 1998. It operates on a modified PHP/MySQL blog script developed by B2Evolution. I'm constantly developing the interface and design.
As of 1/1/2008: 616,475 large images have been viewed.
I've finally installed a shopping cart and setup an account with Google checkouts, but until I get everything running smoothly please use the "contact" button at the top of the page to email me regarding any photo requests.
Environmental, public and non-profit organizations have permission to use my images without charge as long as they notify me first.
Add yourself to my announcement list and get periodic updates when I add new photos.
The constellation Orion shines behind the oldest church in the US.
This is the oldest house in the US. It's located just off the Old Santa Fe Trail in downtown Santa Fe, New Mexico, across from the oldest continuously occupied church in the US and just down the street from the oldest public building in the US. The house was originally built around 1610, but because it's made of adobe it has required significant maintenance over the years. Oddly, photographs from the 1880's and late 1920's show the house with two stories, but photos from 1912 only show one. In each of these photos the sand/clay/straw/dung walls are shaped differently, sometimes uneven and cracked, sometimes smooth and clean. The house is built on top of an ancient pueblo that dates to around 1200.
This is the storefront entrance to the oldest house in the US. I've found photos from as far back as 1880 with this portion attached but I don't know if it's technically part of the house or not. This section of the building is in much better condition and it doesn't appear to share the same pueblo foundation.
Chapel of San Miguel por Barrio de Analco - the oldest "continuously occupied" church in the United States.
Chapel of San Miguel por Barrio de Analco
Santa Fe is the second oldest city in the United States. It was founded in 1609, before any cities in the northeast. (The oldest city is St. Augustine in Florida, 1565). The plaza in downtown Santa Fe has been the center of town since 1610. The oldest public building in the United States, the Palace of the Governers, is located on the plaza. It is also the end of the Santa Fe Trail.
