Description

A distant photograph of a girl standing at the water pump by the Burney Hotel. She stands at center at the water pump. She is in profile and faces left. A trough appears to sit to the left of the pump and miscellaneous gear sits behind and to the right of the pump. A fence spans across the image behind the pump and lines the perimeter of the yard. A building stands behind the fence along the right edge of the frame. Trees stand in the background and mountains rise in the far distance.
