DescriptionThis image depicts the outdoor patio of La Placita in Old Town Albuquerque, New Mexico. Four tables, with varying numbers of chairs at each, can be seen situated in various places throughout the patio. Each table is covered by a table cloth and has on it a salt shaker and a pepper shanker. A hole in the roof allows the tree growing in the center of the room to grow upwards and get sunlight. On the farthest wall from the camera, a set of wooden doors can be seen with the top portions of both doors being open and decorated with wooden bars. Chili pepper decorations (ristras) can be seen hanging against the walls from the ceiling. On the right side of the frame, a screen door can be seen being propped open by a small wooden box. A large wooden box and a large wicker basket are visible on the left side of the room against the wall.
