DescriptionTwo men stand near the edge of a damaged wooden bridge after Spring flooding of the Rio Grande in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The wooden base of the bridge is undulated, and chains are wrapped around the side of the bridge and lying on the wooden planks of the walkway. Wooden supports are connected to the sides of the bridge to help stabilize it. Both men are looking at the camera. They are wearing long-sleeved collared shirts and small-brimmed hats. One is seated on the edge of the bridge near the metal chains, and the other is standing near the center of the frame.
