DescriptionA distant procession approaches a small adobe structure, the light from an unseen fire, billowing smoke, casting the figures’ long shadows out behind them. The sky is a uniform dark gray, but it is distinct from the nearby mountains, which are rendered in a deeper and even tone that’s almost black.On View
