Description
Photograph of the "Maid of the Mist" in Santa Cruz, ca.1900. The water is dark with small waves collapsing into the surface on the right, but collides with the beach in a frothy, light cloud of smoke-like mist on the left. The water hits the dark, rock cliff in an explosion that envelops the rock in water at center.
