Waves break in long white lines against a rocky, tree-topped shoreline, with a small wooded island — Mouse Island — visible on the horizon at left. The caption names the spot as the rocky shore along Catawba Cliffs on Catawba Island, Ohio, which despite its name is a peninsula jutting into Lake Erie in Ottawa County, long a summer resort area. Mouse Island is a small, wooded island lying just offshore in Lake Erie near the Catawba peninsula.
