Description
Original Mount Wilson Observatory office building, just after completion, Pasadena, California. The ground surrounding the building is still dirt. Two bicycles lean against the brickwork on one side of the building. Just behind the building, electric poles and trees are visible. The San Gabriel Mountains are just visible in the background.
