DescriptionThis image depicts a backyard grill made of bricks in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The bricks that make up this grill are light in color and are called "Kinney Bricks". The front of the grill has three large slits in it where one would put the wood. The grill top is dark in color. The top of the grill consists of a small chimney with a hole at the top. The whole brick grill sits on a slab of concrete along a cement wall. Grass can be seen making up the ground in the rest of the photograph. A small bush can be seen on either side of the grill. The leaves of a tree can be seen at the top of the photograph shading the grass directly beneath it.
