DescriptionSpectators watch a motorboat pull a water skier on Conservancy Beach (Ernie Pyle Beach/Tingley Beach) in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The driver of the boat looks back toward the skier, who is balanced upright on two skies and holding the tow rope. A bathhouse is across the first lake between the beach and the Rio Grande. People sit on the sand along the shore on the left of the frame and watch.
