DescriptionThe image is a beach scene in which the foreground consists of a sandy beach on which figures clothed in swim wear, male, female, and juvenile, stand, lounge, or play in the sand. In the middle ground blue water extends out to the horizon line. Within the blue sky a large white blimp floats over the beachgoers; on the side of the blimp it states "U.S. Navy."
