Construction of the coelostat pier for the Snow telescope, as seen from the north, Mount Wilson Observatory. Some of the construction site, including a foundation, is in the foreground. The pier being built is beyond it. On the far left, a wheelbarrow lies on its side. Several unidentified construction workers are in the area; they are using ropes and pulley to move a loaded wheelbarrow. Shrubs are in the background.
