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

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

Hope I win.

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

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.

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.

Looking at the wheels gives a half-decent idea of how wide it is.  I reckon there's a bit that juts out to the side of the float near the back, too, making it wider there.  I was looking at it with a magnifying glass yesterday.  Yay, Ivo and I agree on something!
