DescriptionTwo boys stand on top of a large heap of scrap metal and look toward the camera in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Both boys are wearing overalls and long-sleeved shirts. One boy has the sleeves rolled to his elbows and holds a piece of metal over his shoulder. The taller boy on the right holds a hammer and a piece of sheet metal. The metal pieces piled up include large cog wheels, smaller metal rods, and metal boxes. The roofline of a brick building can be seen just behind the boys on top of the pile.
