Description:
A photographic slide in a small cardboard Kodachrome frame (brown with red trim). The frame is labeled "Sunset + clouds 9:20 P.M. icy straits 6/30/56" in handwriting. The image shows a wide area of a body of water, captured on a low, flat angle, leading to a length of low mountains on a far shore in the distant background. The sun is lowered behind the mountains, creating a golden glare just above them. The sky above that area, toward the top of the image, is orange and purple, characteristic of sunset. The number "6" is printed in red ink on the frame at the upper left.
