The cave digger: Hewing art from the very landscape

[Jazzy]

In the high desert of northern New Mexico, if you listen carefully, you might just hear something more than the wind. It's the underground sound of a man obsessed.

His name is Ra Paulette, who for the past 25 years -- with only his dog for company -- has been scraping and shaping New Mexico's sandstone into man-made caves of art.

He calls them his wilderness shrines -- massive in scale, poetic in their design. If his work takes your breath away, that's just what he hoped it would do.
