A:
The scene captures the Bear Lake home on the left-hand side of the image. It is a three-body, two-story, white clapboard home with two chimneys on the farthest building on the left. A great deal of greenery and fields surround the home, with two roads that lead to other buildings on the property, pictured on the right-hand side of the image. The angle is taken from the back of the main house.
B: The scene captures the Bear Lake home on the left-hand side of the image. It is a three-bodied, two story, white clapboard home with two chimneys on the farthest building on the left. There is a great deal of greenery and fields surrounding the home, with two roads stretching out of the frame that lead to other buildings on the property, pictured in other items, a and d. The angle is taken from the front of the main house. It is the closest of the prints in this series.
C: The scene depicts an aerial view of Bear Lake. The lake is the central focus of the shot, with the valley surrounding it on all sides. A field clearing can be seen in the background on the right-hand side of the image. A road leads out of the background on the left-hand side of the image. Another smaller lake sits in the background center of the image.
D: The scene depicts an aerial view of Bear Lake. The lake is the central focus of the shot, with the valley surrounding it on all sides. A field clearing can be seen in the background on the right-hand side of the image. In the foreground, there are a couple of roads and a house with what appears to be a white roof.
