Description
Photograph of transmission tower in background, showing employees working over a body of water, ca.1950. In the background to the right, a single transmission tower can be seen. The tower is composed of several metallic bars and crossbeams. Near the base of the tower, two men are barely visible near one of the bars of the structure. To the right of the tower, a pointed hill can be seen. To the left of the tower, a small building is visible with a pitched roof. At the top of the tower, two electrical wires are seen extending to the left into the foreground. Along the bottom wire, two men are visible clutching the wire for support above the large body of water below. The man on the left wearing a hat appears to be holding a thinner wire in one of his hands. To the right of the two men in the water, four men in a small wooden boat can be seen watching. In the extreme background, a large mountain range is visible.
