Description

This black & white image looks southeast over the greenhouse and head house in foreground on the lower bench of the farm below the main building complex. A smaller building is near the house at far left. In middle ground a field of hay is harvested and placed on numerous vertical stakes scattered around the field to dry. Another field of grain at left has been harvested and the bundles have been formed into shocks to dry. A strip of heavy forest projects from the left in near background with a Colony farmstead visible in a clearing at center. Mountains of the Chugach Range form the background.
