Topic: Is this what it seems.

Cannot make up my mind if the structure is a model on or a real gateway behind the float. :huh:

 :huh: :huh: :huh:

Hmmmmmmmm.................... very humid where you are then, Frank??
Or am I missing an image, or something? 

[Max]

Let's vote anyway Della.  I vote it's a real gateway!   

Hope I win.

Is it possible, some strange herbal smells, are wafting up from the Amsterdam streets
below Franks window

Two bloopers in short order! Humidity is around 150% here.. gasp.

I fink I was right as the 'float' is only two horses wide...sooo...gotta be a real gateway...right?  :huh:

[krsilber]

I don't know...the near right corner looks like it sticks out a ways toward the camera.  I reckon the whole thing's a float.

Float in front of real gateway, methinks.

[Frank]

I think this is one optical illusion that will resist analysis, I should have bid on it! I did consider when I first saw it and looked a few times since.

This is the float from the glass factory during the wine harvest festival in Bordeaux, so you may safely assume that the structure is on the float - in front of the balustrade of the park where the cortège is held.
