DescriptionFrom the window of a passing car is the partly demolished Fred Harvey Hotel on 110 First Street Southwest, Albuquerque, New Mexico. The southern end of the building is smashed with rubble and roofing slumping towards the earth. First street is wet and the building materials are covered in a layer of fluffy snow. Between the building and road is a leafless tree coated in ice and snow. A car is parked in front of the tree with a man, bundled in coat and hat, entering it.
