Description

Photograph of oil derricks rising out of the coastal Pacific Ocean at Summerland, Santa Barbara County, ca.1960. Left of the cliffside, several long wharves support the pipelines leading from each well. A few small buildings are visible on the palisades at right. Back of photoprint reads, "Oil streaks were noted by Spanish explorers and are natural leaks. Reference toJames Curvier". The cliffside is covered in trees and an assortment of foliage, and leads down to the shore, which is greeted by white water from the ocean shallows. In the distance, more strips of beach can be seen, and a stretch of mountains fades into the misty background.
