DescriptionPeople swim in the swimming pool at Western Skies Motel on Route 66 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. One person has a blow-up swim lounger in the middle of the pool. A man smiles with a young child and a woman wearing a white swim cap is in the foreground in the shallow area of the water. The woman in the swim cap, the man and the child all have blue check marks near them. The shadow of the photographer standing on the stone tiled pool deck is in the lower right foreground. One person is lying on their stomach on a pool deck lounge chair near the back right of the frame. The motel encircles the swimming pool and the windows of the rooms are in the background.
