Pink Motel Cottages at Sunset — John Margolies

Warm evening light falls across a row of small roadside motel cottages in this photograph by John Margolies. Pink-painted siding, low gabled roofs, striped window awnings, shrubs, and recessed entrances repeat across the frame, while pale green and blue buildings appear at either edge.

The low sun transforms the modest architecture with intense orange, coral, pink, and violet tones, contrasting with the dark trees behind the buildings. Part of Margolies's extensive photographic record of American roadside architecture, the image turns an everyday motel into a concise study of color, repetition, and late-day light.
