Palisades Park Pathway and Coastal Yucca Overlook (1927)

A rustic wooden railing and blooming yucca plants along a cliffside walking path overlooking the coast and distant Malibu mountains. — Palisades Park Pathway and Coastal Yucca Overlook (1927) · Donald A. Hall Estate Collection

Framed along the cliffside path of Palisades Park in Santa Monica, this 1927 composition pairs a spiky yucca plant and rustic wooden fence against the sweeping curve of Santa Monica Bay. Hall utilized deep depth of field to keep both foreground flora and distant mountain ridges in focus.
