Abstract
Three men are standing on the pitch lake at La Brea and their mirror image can be seen in the nearby rain water pond. The pitch lake’s surface appears rough and crumbly. Behind the men is an employee of the asphalt company. He is operating his rail cart which is used to transport pitch from the lake to the company for refining. On the horizon is a grove of trees and a long low single story building.
