The camera pans up towards a large, latticed tower that rises at center. A single propeller blade caps the orchard heater. About halfway up the tower, a man climbs (J. E. Bowersmith?). Nearer to camera, orange trees just into frame from the lower left and lower right corners, naturally framing the orchard heater's tower.
