Early construction of the Snow telescope pier as seen from top of nearby spruce tree, Mount Wilson Observatory. Two (2) unidentified construction workers are seen at the top of a hill within a small clearing. The scaffolding and forms for the foundation of the pier are clearly visible. A large pole is seen just behind the men, with wires attached. Trees and shrubs surround the clearing.
