- Description:
- A heavy black sky with a little moon at the bottom of it over a small town and graveyard, with mountains beyond it and scrubland before it. The top two thirds of the image are almost entirely black, and the sky below is bright and streaky like a wave over the mountains. The buildings of the town and its trees, all laid out in a row near the bottom of the frame, are dwarfed by the sky and the distant mountains.
- Notes:
- Gelatin silver print, inscribed as a museum set edition. Twenty other photographs by Adams are held at the Herbert F. Johnson Museum.
