DescriptionThis image depicts several adobe houses lining the left side of an unpaved street in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Each house is connected to the one beside it. Each as a single door and a window next to the door. On the left side of the frame, leaning against the building, are three children. They are all dressed in light colored clothing. Further down the street, nearer to the center of the photograph, a woman and a young child walk hand in hand away from the camera. A large tree can be seen sticking up above the homes from behind. A row of powerlines connected by wooden telephone poles can be seen above the homes as well.
