Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. An out-of-focus photograph of Cook Inlet, as viewed from a bluff looking north. The landscape is viewed from an elevated vantage point. Trees on the downward slope of a bluff line the foreground. In the near distance, a utility pole stands at center; its lines stretch horizontally across the image and out-of-frame. Beyond, Cook Inlet spans the image. A land form juts into frame in the far distance at left. At far right, a silhouetted Mount Denali rises in the background. A few punch holes line the top edge at left. According to the negative sleeve, this set of photographs is captured in color. The scans of these images are in black and white. Text from negative sleeve: [handwritten:] 2 [end handwritten]216.
