The interaction of the members of this family, seated just outside Durango’s railroad depot and gift shop, is rich in human values. I assume that the couple in the middle of this image are the parents of the young child seen here reaching for the bill of her fathers cap. He leans towards the child, encouraging its explorations. The women on either side observe the scene with a sense of humor. The yellow balloon and the yellow shirt of the woman on the left lend a festive air to the scene, and link the family to the yellow wall of the depot just behind. In the window of that depot, a woman shops, unaware of the domestic tableau being played out just below her. The image provides a sense of family, offers a touch of humor, and represents pleasure. All of these are basic human values.
