From caption on back of photograph: "Allan Bergmann is pictured working on the installation of the high intensity approach lights at Oakland airport. The new installations will be completed and working by 1953." A man stands on top of a lights fixture at Oakland Airport. The fixture is set on its own miniature tower, enabling its spotlights to illuminate the airport in the background. Another fixture is visible behind the one in the foreground. The man on the tower wears warm clothing and appears to be installing parts for the spotlights.
