Description
Photograph of two men and a boy standing near a rock formation in the forest, [s.d.]. The tall rock at center is shaped like an oval and reflects the sunlight on its dimpled surface from the right. An older man stands on the left of the rock with a stripe of shading across his face and torso. A younger, taller man stands in front of the rock with a satchel across his chest while the boy leans his right on the rock from the right. A large tree stands in front of the men on the left and shades the fallen braches and pine cones which litter the grass in the foreground. Boulders stand beneath a forest of similar trees which extend behind the men into the background. Photoprint reads "One of the great granite monuments scattered by nature over the slopes of Mount Pacifico".
