Description
Photograph of a night view of oil wells in Wilmington, ca.1930. Across two bridges and a body of water stand a group of derricks, each strung with light bulbs and lit up. The lights from the oilrigs stretch and reflect on the water's surface, while the lines from utility poles string overhead.
