Description

Photograph of a view of a town along a pier, [s.d.]. A wooden pier with lights hanging from its posts stands in the water in the foreground on the left while boats float in the dark water on the right. A lightly-colored fence stands in defense of the town from the ocean. Beyond the fence buildings crowd the small town. Grass blankets the curvy mountains in the background.
