[Southwest Sceneray]

Southwest desert vista. There is no information provided for the location from where this image was captured. A solid rock mountain face encompasses most of the foreground in this photographic desert scene. In the center of this image, there is a small lake or some ponding water. A lone tree is clearly visible in the middle of this small body of water. And in the background, an unidentified mountain. Right center of the image there are two men facing the camera. One man is standing and the other man is sitting on a large rock. The man who is standing is wearing a light colored shirt and the man who is sitting is wearing a dark colored shirt. Both men are wearing hats. This postcard was mailed to Miss G.M. Horne in Portland, Main. The postcard message reads: Had quite an excitement here for a few days but it quieted down as soon as the U.S. Troops took a hand. Very hot here. Hope you are ok. The fight livened my business up in good shape. The postcard is post marked June 24, 1918, El Paso.
