DescriptionThis image depicts a construction site near 1st Street and Copper Avenue in Albuquerque, New Mexico. A large hole has been dug in the parking lot near the right side of the frame. In the hole, a large concrete support pillar has been placed. Surrounding the outside of the hole are many brown metal pipes running into the ground on either side of the hole's walls. Numerous types of construction equipment can be seen around the edge of the hole. These include cranes, trucks, cement mixers, and trailers. Several buildings can be seen in the background behind the construction site. These buildings include the Sunshine Theater building and the Hotel Andaluz building.
