Pinkie (Ellen Lorene) Lemberger stands on the pier, Santa Monica, about 1900 or 1901

Description:
Pinkie (Ellen Lorene) Lemberger stands on the pier in Santa Monica with her eyes closed and slightly turned to the left (facing east). She wears a long skirt, white blouse, dark jacket and a large dark hat. It appears to be windy as her skirt seems to billow in the wind. The photograph may have been taken at the end of the day; Pinkie casts a long shadow to the left of where she stands and the waves in the ocean seem to move towards the left as well. Behind her and to the left on the dock is a picnic basket. A pier support post is behind her on the left as well; it rises just over the level of the pier. In the distance on the left, the shoreline is barely visible.
