Description

Photograph of waves crashing on the rocks at Santa Cruz, ca.1900. The water on the right flows up the rocky banks where it splashes in what looks like a white wall over the smooth surface of a rock cliff on the right. Short, slippery rocks lie flat on the beach in the foreground with shallow, frothy water running across them.
