Photograph of a view of the pipeline on the Los Angeles Aqueduct, [s.d.]. The large pipeline is striped with thick bolts as it extends from the foreground on the right up over the bush-spotted hillside at center. The pipe is raised above the ground by what appear to be slabs of concrete and wooden beams. Materials such as wood and wagons lie scattered across the desert terrain on either side of the pipeline while a cluster of small, lightly-colored structures stand on the left.
