Description

Photograph of a view of palms and dracaenas on the top of the palisades in Santa Monica, ca.1910. There are several palms visible, including a large tree at left and a smaller, lone tree at center. Other plants are visible, including one with long stalks tipped with feathery leaves at right. A short, crooked fence runs along the edge of the cliff, and a landmass juts out into the ocean in the distance. There are patchy clouds in the night sky.
