Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph, from left to right, of Nina Meyers, Mertie West and Glen Velzy standing on small rocks in front of the bottom of Sturtevant Falls near Santa Anita Canyon. A pool of water surrounds the trio. A line of rocks in the water extend from the bottom edge of the image at center towards the group. They stand on a group of small rocks that extends from center and towards the right. Nina Meyers stands leftmost and pulls on Mertie's hand as she looks to the camera. Mertie stands to the right of Nina and looks to the camera as well. Glen stands to the right of them with a pipe in one hand and his other hand to his hip as he gazes off towards the right. A rocky canyon wall stands behind them and occupies the background. Part of Sturtevant Falls cascades down the wall behind them. It splashes off of the rocks and into the pool that extends between the wall and Nina, Mertie and Glen. Text from negative sleeve: 1226. Santa Anita Canyon, July 4, 5 & 6, 1941.
