DescriptionA man and three children approach the water of the swimming pool at Western Skies Motel on Route 66 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The man holds the hand of a child as she gets into the shallow area of the pool. All four people are wearing swimsuits, the two youngest children are wearing matching bikinis. The man has a towel around his neck. There are pool lounge chairs and folding chairs around the stone-tiled pool deck. The motel encircles the swimming pool and the windows from the motel rooms are in the background.
