This photo shows a stone tower with rough, stacked rocks framing a doorway. Inside the opening hangs a single bell, centered against a plain background. Beyond the tower, a flat landscape stretches out with small buildings scattered across dry ground. The bell is the only bright spot in the scene, drawing your eye to the empty space beyond. This was taken as part of a larger collection of American landscapes and cultures. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more of this photo.
