A Snapshot of the Past

After perusing the Long Beach Public Library's Photo Archive, I discovered photos of both Los Cerritos Wetlands and the Colorado Lagoon I had never seen before. Let us know which one is your favorite in the comments!
Picture
Los Cerritos Wetlands in 1945. The description reads: Looking southwest from Pacific Coast Highway and San Gabriel River. 2nd Street Bridge, Naples, Alamitos Bay bridge, trestle bridge, and 7th Street bridge visible. Alamitos Peninsula is in the background, from right to left. Photo taken for Long Beach City Engineer office.
Picture
Colorado Lagoon in 1929. The description reads: Southeast Long Beach looking northwest from Naples over what would become Belmont Park, Alamitos Heights. Recreation Park, Colorado Lagoon and Rancho Los Alamitos farmland are visible.
Picture
Los Cerritos Wetlands in 1939. The description reads: Aerial view of San Gabriel River outlet, Alamitos Bay Bridge, Southern California Edison power plant in Seal Beach, breakwater, and several houses. Oil wells in Cerritos wetlands visible.
Picture
Colorado Lagoon in 1921. The description reads: Aerial view looking west over Belmont Heights (lower left), undeveloped Belmont Shore, and newly developed Naples. Also see the original shape of Colorado Lagoon and what would become Marine Stadium. San Gabriel Mountains in background. (I would like to point out that the large white area is now Belmont Shore and yes, the white lines in the water are waves.)
