Photograph of an automobile camp, showing a covered automobile on the grounds, Alhambra, ca.1930. In the background at center, an automobile is visible next to a tent. Part of the tarp from the tent covers the roof of the car, while the other section of tarp is tied to the large trees at center. To the right of the automobile, a picnic table can be seen. Further to the right, what appears to be a large grill made of brick is visible next to clothes and sheets hanging from an extended rope. To the far right, a large tent can be seen near a cluster of trees. To the far left, another structure can be seen behind the large trees. In the foreground, a paved road can be seen extending from left to right.; Farther to the right, a large tent is observable with clothes hanging from one of the ropes that support the tent. In the far left, a cabin can be seen behind a few trees. All objects are sitting on a grassy lawn and surrounded by tall trees. A wide dirt road is visible which extends from left to right and covers most of the foreground.
