Photograph of large waterfall and cliff wall, showing large trees obscuring shot in foreground, Yosemite National Park, California, [s.d.]. In the extreme foreground at the left and right, two large trees are visible. The trees are close to one another, and their leaves and branches block out most of background except for a small space between their peaks. In the extreme background seen through this opening, a large cliff wall is visible with a waterfall at its center. The large stream of water moves down the cliff wall and disappears out of view.
