Men and a dog stand on a bare granite outcrop above still water, a reminder of how abruptly the park's rock rises from its reservoirs. Yosemite's best-known reservoir, Hetch Hetchy, was created when the O'Shaughnessy Dam was completed in 1923, flooding a valley that many had admired and that remains a point of debate. The record does not name the men or pinpoint the site, so the scene is best read as a glimpse of everyday outdoor life in the park during that period.
