Photograph taken from Frances Wells' apartment that looks across Anchorage towards Cook Inlet. The scene is viewed from a bird's-eye perspective. Trees stand along the right edge and branches jut into the foreground from the lower left corner. Houses and streets stand in the near distance below at center. Farther out, Cook Inlet spans the image and disappears behind the trees that stand in the foreground at right. The opposite shore is visible in the far distance.
