Color vertical photo. A young Mexican male stands in front of two very tall beams of wood that become skinnier the farther they reach, like the antennae of a grasshopper. But this structure appears to be a ladder he is constructing due to the three rods attached between the beams at the base. They are surrounded by a short round adobe wall with the small opening facing the camera. They stand firmly in the foreground and behind them in the background is a small Mexican village. Each square home is constructed to one another as if in a pile.
