Description
Photograph of people pointing up at a cross at a funeral in the desert, [s.d.]. A wooden cross is visible at center stuck in the sand with a circular wreath attached to it. Two men stand to the left of the cross, one of whom is pointing up at the cross. Two men stand to the right of the cross and both point upwards. A kneeling woman can be seen in front of the men at right, wearing a long coat. The man at left can be seen wearing overalls, while the other men wear suits. A man can be seen walking left at left, while mountains and what appear to be tripods are visible in the background.
