DescriptionSix men stand on a very large rock. Four of them face the camera, but the two on the right face to the right, looking off camera. One of the men on the right is squating on the ground by a small cloud of smoke, which could mean that there is a campfire in front of him. All of the men wear wide-brimmed hats and suspenders. Behind them, at the base of the rock, runs a wide river. There are several trees growing on the other side of the water. The photo was taken in Canada, during the fishing trip taken by the Dominicks and Cheneys.
