This one got my attention. It took me a while to figure out that these are Rose Parade floats and spectators. But I still can’t tell if this is the parade itself or the float viewing area after the parade. I’m guessing the former since there are people on one of the floats.
Actually, it’s the latter. The float had a slide and I believe they were letting visitors ride it since I saw a couple of people on it; could have been crew members, though…
This image makes you think…you have to look real close to figure out what it is! The soft colors yield an old-time feeling of days gone by.
At first, I thought it was a shot of a charming little mountain village, with quaint houses that had snow-covered roofs. (And this will mean nothing, but, it initially reminded me of photographs my parents’ would show me of their honeymoon in the Pocono Mountains). But then I could just make out the heads of the crowd and had to look further to try to figure out what this was of (of course, your explanation in the previous comment helped greatly!). So it is curious and nostalgic and clever all at the same time!
We don't get a chance to do that many things, and every one should be really excellent. Because this is our life. Life is brief, and then you die, you know? And we’ve all chosen to do this with our lives. So it better be damn good. It better be worth it. […]
