Description

This black and white photograph was taken from above a small river which runs toward a tall outcropping in the background. This monolithic rock wall is lined with dark vertical streaks of desert varnish. Above the outcropping, which crosses the photograph horizontally, about one-third of a clear sky is seen. Stemming from the bottom middle of the rocky formation is a river. The river winds, growing larger in visible size as it encompasses the entire bottom edge of the photograph. To each side of the river, the land is full of small desert shrub brush. A single tall deciduous tree stands to the far left along the middle of the photograph. A small white tent rests on the bank in the distant middle-right of the river. Two dark horses are hitched to a wooden wagon to the right of the campsite. A log crossing the river serves as a makeshift bridge. Numbers are written below the photograph.
