Outdoor view of the south side plaza of Albuquerque. A hardware store is seen stretching alongside the road, intersecting with a drug store with a white arched facade. An empty carriage with a horse attached is seen closest to the camera, while a pile of rubble is off in the distance, nearer to the drugstore. Upon closer inspection, approximately four people are off near the pillars of the hardware store, nearly undistinguishable. While no features can be observed, one figure does seem to be sitting while the other leans against a pillar.
