Description
Photograph of the Playa del Rey Oil derricks in Venice Beach, ca.1925. Row upon row of metal oilrigs stand along the shore behind a concrete path walk, tapering off into the distance. Several house-like structures, tanks, smoke stacks and pipes line the bases of these derricks at left, facing toward the ocean, which crashes toward the shore from the right. Right of center, several plumes of smoke or perhaps steam shoot out of thin stacks. The background is neutral.
