Update - 2009: Black & white print attached to black mat which has been cut off with resulting rough edges. Photo show a birdseye view of a very large gathering of horse drawn buggies & carriages, & a very few vintage automobiles, many around a rock & mortar monument shaped like a huge cone that rises high into the air with a large shield type plaque attached to front. (It is not possible to read plaque). People are standing, many are on horseback or in carriages. Wide expansive land with hills are seen in background. Due to the distance of the view, details are difficult to view. A crosstie with insulators is seen in center foreground.
