DescriptionThree children and a man look up toward the camera from a shallow area of the swimming pool at Western Skies Motel on Route 66 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The shadow of the photographer falls over the man as one of the children sit on his shoulder and smile toward the camera. Two other children are in front of the man. The child sitting on the man's shoulder and the child on the left are wearing identical bikini swimsuits. The child in the center is wearing a white swim cap. The pool deck is paved with stone tiles.
