A cluster of simple homes sits in a canyon; a road circling past them; in foreground the backyard of one home where a man sits with a child on the back stoop and a woman bends over a washtub set on a stool; above is the line with clothes on it; next to 2 tall leafless trees is a woodpile covered by tin roof held up by poles; another tin roofed shed is nearby; chickens scratch a the ground; all is surrounded by a shaky wooden and screen fence; huge cactus plant outside fence.
