DescriptionView from behind of three children standing in the surf at Fishers Island, New York. A wave is crashing on the shore and the water washes around the children's ankles. Two girls stand near the middle of the image, holding hands. The girl on the left points out to sea with her left hand. A boy stands a few feet away to the right. They are all wearing hats. A partial image of the children is reflected in the sand in the foreground.
