Description

This photo shows a late summer view of a Matanuska Colony farmstead with unharvested vegetables of some kind in immediate foreground and numerous stacks of harvested hay in mid-foreground beyond. Farm buildings are spread across the image in middle ground with the Colony barn at extreme left and a two-story white frame house at extreme right. A wellhouse and chicken house are visible between those two major buildings. A broadleaf forest is apparent behind the buildings with the snowless rounded mountains of the western end of the Talkeetna Range in background. A fluffy white cloud tops the mountain under a clear sky.
