Description
Photograph of an unidentified dam, ca.1930. Weeds and tall grass hide the jagged rocks that litter the dusty bank in the foreground of the smooth river which flows behind it. A similar bank edges the water on the right while no plants speckle the dusty hills on the left. A small tower which resembles the tip of a castle emerges from the water at center with tree-covered hills near the dam behind it on the left. The water appears to wind around the dark hills out of sight on the right.
