Birdseye view of Santa Monica Beach looking north from Palisades, showing houses, ca.1920

Photograph of a birdseye view of Santa Monica Beach looking north from Palisades, ca.1920. A small collection of wooden buildings is on the beach in the foreground at left. Rows of cars are parked in front of these buildings. A two lane highway runs along the coast at center, and running parallel to this road is a railroad with a two-car train. A steep cliff is visible at right, and a wooden fence runs along the top. Large mountains can be seen through the haze in the distance at right.

本照片为1920年左右从帕利塞兹（Palisades）向北俯瞰圣塔莫尼卡海滩（Santa Monica Beach）的景象。前景左侧的海滩上坐落着数座木制建筑，建筑前方停放着成排的汽车。画面中部沿海岸线设有一条双向车道公路，与其平行的铁路线上正运行着一列两节车厢的列车。画面右侧可见陡峭的悬崖，崖顶设有一道木制围栏。画面右侧远方的薄雾中隐约可见连绵的大型山脉。
