DescriptionOn a hillside overlooking the Taos Valley a group of three men and two women gather mud to mix with straw and water, the makings of adobe bricks. They shovel and bend in two digging sites. In the background, a row of cedars and pinons roll toward the valley below. Mountains are visible in the distance.
