Description
Photograph of an unidentified river making its way between two cliff faces, showing sandy banks at right, ca.1950. The glass-like water shimmers in the daylight as it washes up on the smooth sand in the foreground on the right. Further down the right bank of the river stands a rounded rock wall with a gravel hill falling down the front side. A dark, jagged rock wall stands on the opposing bank and continues along the left bank of the river into the background.
