Snow-covered frozen water and distant buildings are seen through bare branches, with a bench in the foreground.

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

A broad snow-covered frozen expanse stretches toward several distant buildings, including a slender tower and a larger light-colored building. Bare branches frame the right side and lower edge of the view, while a dark bench occupies the lower-right foreground. The scene is muted and overcast.

A model wrote this. It was shown the image and the catalogue record together, and asked to keep them apart — what it saw is here, what the record told it is under "taken from the record" below. It is still wrong often enough to matter, about who is pictured, where, when, and what is happening. Read it as a way to find the image, never as evidence about it. If you can correct it, please do: write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com, or see how corrections work. Someone who recognises a face or a shoreline knows more than the model did.

Subjects and keywords

Taken from the record

Not observed in the image — supplied by the archive's own catalogue, and repeated here so the two stay distinguishable.

The archive record identifies this as a photograph posted by Beaver Island Boat Company to its Facebook page on 2013-12-16, with the caption “Winter Wonderland on Beaver Island!”

Could not make out

Stated rather than guessed at.

The distant tower's exact function and the identities of the buildings are not certain from the image.

Why this archive publishes it. Public Facebook groups and pages run by island organisations and residents. Each item credits the poster by name and links to the original post. Removal on request.

Material goes off the web without anyone deciding that it should: a host lapses, a gallery is retired, a link stops resolving. Holding a copy — with its provenance, its checksum and its holder's terms recorded beside it — is much of why this archive exists. If you are looking for something whose original has since gone, write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com and a full-size copy of what is held here will be sent to you.

Recorded verbatim from the provenance sidecar taken at retrieval — this archive does not restate a holder's terms in its own words, does not add a restriction the holder did not state, and does not abridge one.

The archive holds its own copy of that file and will supply it on request; it is not re-served here, because the holder serves it better and a second copy is a second thing to go stale.
