Water flows down a hillside at right. At the top of the hill sits a flattened pipe. The water flows down from the pipe and towards the base of the hill, left-of-center. Another, intact, pipe enters frame from the lower left corner and stretches along the bottom edge towards center. It too is broken. A mangled pipe wraps around its open end. Another damaged pipe lies on the hillside, behind and to the left of it. The hillside stretches across the background.
This photograph is very similar to another one of a damaged aqueduct pipe captioned, "Views in Owens River Valley Above—The power plant, X showing where second explosion took place. Center—The blown out section of pipe. Below—No Name Canyon, scene of Friday’s dynamiting," Los Angeles Times, 29 May 1927: 2
A different photograph of a damaged Los Angeles Aqueduct pipe appears with the article, "Six Hundred Police Ready to Balk New Dynamiting: Squad Rushed to Owens Valley after Second Aqueduct Outrage at Big Pine Power House Police Ready to Rush North," Los Angeles Times, 29 May 1927: 1
