Photograph taken from Frances Wells' apartment that looks across Anchorage towards Cook Inlet. The scene is viewed from a bird's-eye perspective.

Farther out, Cook Inlet spans the image and disappears behind the trees that stand in the foreground at right. The opposite shore is visible in the far distance.
