Description
Photograph of a view of oil derricks along the coast of Playa del Rey in Venice, showing storage tanks and many low buildings, ca.1925. Many tall oil derricks line the visible length of the coastline. Clusters of low buildings sit in front of the derricks, along with cylindrical tanks and other structures, some of which emit steam or smoke. The ocean's edge fills the foreground of the image.
