DescriptionThe Barelas Bridge under construction with a wooden triangular tower built along the shoreline of the Rio Grande River in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Four ropes span from its top to the ground. Two men are at the top peek of the construction tower, one sitting, the other standing. More men surround the base of the structure along with a wagon. The metal beamed covered bridge can be seen behind in the distance reaching across the Rio Grande. The Bosque is bare, no trees in sight, rather a sandy rutted earth surrounds the river's shoreline.On View
