Boyden Observatory, seen from the west, possibly from the roof of the Administration Building. The 60-inch Rockefeller enclosure dominates the view. In the foreground, left to right, are the pillars of the Bruce enclosure, the 13-inch enclosure, and part of the 10-inch Metcalf building. Small trees are visible beyond the row of telescopes. Larger trees are visible in the immediate foreground, some with white rocks arranged near their bases. Based on the tree size, this photograph is later than PLB36_0001.
