Photograph of a view of the Santa Monica coastline, looking south from Palisades Park, ca.1910-1911. The palisades are at left and are a line of steep, rocky cliffs. A twisted wood fence runs along the top edge of the cliff, and several wooden structures can be seen beyond the fence. A wide unpaved road runs up the face of the cliffs at center. At right, the ocean is visible. A set of railroad tracks and Pacific Coast Highway can be seen at center, running parallel to the shoreline. In the background at right, a long pier juts out into the water.
