Description
Photograph of a view of Mount Whitney, CA, [s.d.]. Wotan's Throne is in the center left of the image and Mount Whitney is in the center right of the image. Mountain sides can be seen sloping upwards at left and right, while tall pine trees are visible growing in the resulting crevice between the two slopes from bottom left towards center. Rock formations and peaks are visible on top of the mountains at left and in the background. Trees can be seen on the sides of the mountains throughout, while boulders can be seen in the extreme right foreground. Originally, the image was captioned as "Observatory Peak from Mount Lowe [Wilson?], Altadena, [s.d.]".
