I'm sure it must be due to the distance (100+yrs.) and the lack of color yet in photography, but that car looks like it, literally, has a growth on it, an unpleasant growth, of something malignant. Maybe that's just kookie me. but uuuuuhhhh.ick.

I think it's covered in roses..... You have an aversion to the Rose Parade, too?

Those are roses?! Get out. You must be high. (Not that that's a bad thing. ) They look like mold growth. Show me a good lookin petal there, bub. huh? Huh? Oivey.

Murph, I think they have yet to come up with a parade where floats (or, in this case, automobiles) are decorated with mold. It looks like ice plant to me. The only flowers I see are carnations on the guy to the extreme right.

New Armory in New Brighton, Pa

They sure built things to last, back then; too bad we didn't let many of them last.

In Europe, an entire economy is built upon tourists wanting to see old buildings, craftwork, and art, the older the better.

In the USA, we seem to want only new and tear down the old.
