Description

An out-of-focus photograph of Mertie West standing on a lawn in Stanley Park in Vancouver. The lawn spans the width of the bottom edge and stretches back into the distance on an angle to the left. Mertie West stands in the near distance, left-of-center. She stands in profile, facing left, but turns her head towards the camera. Further back on the lawn, other park visitors walk at left. Trees line the lawn's right (or back) edge in the distance.
