The image showcases the iconic wells at Signal Hill, a historic site that played a crucial role in shaping the landscape and economy of this coastal city.
The black and white composition exudes a sense of nostalgia, transporting viewers back to a time when oil was king and Long Beach was at the forefront of America's industrial revolution.
