Fisherman’s Wharf, Pier and Beach, Monterey, California

This image is similar to the previous one, taken from the opposite side of the large palm tree and from a vantage point closer to the water. Fisherman’s Wharf and the nearby  pier are again visible, as well as the small beach with a flock of seagulls. In the distance is the commercial fleet, which was large and active during that time.
