Description
Photograph of a view of Lake Tenaya in Yosemite, showing a rock face in the background, ca.1930-1940. The dark lake is lined with sandy banks littered dry bushes in the foreground. The water barely ripples while reflecting the tall, thin spruce trees that stand on the far bank. Beyond the trees a large rock hill stands with few trees and jagged cliffs along its smooth slope.
