Description
Shoveling snow at the Monastery, Mount Wilson Observatory. Two unidentified men, one on teh roof and the other in the courtyard, shoveling snow. The Monastery served as a dormitory for visiting scientists. Both men are wearing hats and are holding shovels. Behind the man in the courtyard is a ladder; the windows are to his left, behind him. The snow covers much of the roof and the trees and shrubs nearby.
