This black and white photograph shows an elderly man leaning on a cane held in his left hand with his right hand raised to hip height. He is wearing a brimmed hat, blazer, white shirt, and oversized pants. In the background is a cityscape, and at least three other obscured figures.
Right side of the foreground occupied by four trees, the nearest of which is weathered and lacks its leaves; further back in space and at the center of the composition sits the Half Dome; the moon, against a star-spangled sky, is shown peering its upper half over a cloud formation near the upper left hand corner.
State Capitol, Finis McCluney Jr., photograph
A black and white photograph featuring a column of rock formation or a geological stack towards the back of the image along with a smaller rock in the foreground. Longer exposure time created a foggy or milky movement in the water around the rocky formations. The clear horizon line with the sky creates a still background.
