Subject matter
In this photograph, three men on mules pass through an arched gateway. Two men walk on foot, one towards the gate and another away from it. On the right, we see a group of two riding on mules, and a third rider behind, apparently not part of the group. There is another man walking alone in the foreground. Finally, there is a lone man walking into the arched gateway. This image minimizes the human subjects, however, and focuses on the geometric forms created by the architectural in the photograph. The photograph is comprised of similar tonal gradations ranging from mid to dark grays and blacks.

Physical Description
This photograph depicts a vertical architectural landscape with people passing in and out of an arched gateway.
