Description
Photograph of people frolicking on the beach near an oil field in Playa del Rey, [s.d.]. In the foreground, several people can be seen frolicking in and out of the water. The long stretch of beach runs from the foreground to the background, lined by a seemingly operational oil field. The oil field features numerous oil wells, with what appears to be steam rising out of them, and several buildings. In the middle, a pier runs from the oil field out towards the ocean. Compares to CHS-48583.
