Description
Photograph of avocado fruit trees (north of Whittier?), [s.d.]. Rows of trees stand across the hillside which slopes from the peek on the right to a dirt road which winds along its base on the left. Thin, bare trees stand on the hillside in the foreground while a second hill decorated with rows of dark trees stand behind the hill at center. A wooded area lines the foot of the second hill while a light road winds beneath the woods along the edges of more tree-striped hills on the left. Rows of trees and plants spot the fields into the foggy distance.
