The view looks across the Lily Pond Lagoon in Balboa Park, with water lilies in the foreground, flower beds and benches along the water, and the California Building tower rising behind trees. The pond and the nearby California Building were built for the 1915 Panama-California Exposition, which gave the park its Spanish Colonial Revival character. The printed caption calls the spot "a unique and colorful beauty spot."
