A wooden ladder leans against the wall of the home. The ristras are hanging over a multi-paned window.A typed caption on the back of the photograph reads, "Strings of red chili hung along the sides of adobe houses as decorative pieces indicate that harvest time is in the air in New Mexico Spanish-American villages. The bright red strings give a spectacular touch of color to New Mexico's countryside in autumn."
