DescriptionThis image depicts a construction site for the Burton II Well on Hermosa Drive and Ridgecrest Drive in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The above portion of the well is square and is made of large gray bricks. The area immediately surrounding the well is made of yellowing grass. Small holes have been dug around the well. Caution tape and A-frame construction barriers have also been placed around the well. Behind these barriers, a small off-white stucco building can be seen. Various large dead bushes can be seen against the wall on the right side of the building. In the background, various other small wooden and stucco buildings can be seen. Additionally, wooden telephone poles and tall leafless trees can be seen sticking up above the buildings.On View
