Analogue connection.
I was surprised to open the mail box and find a postcard from my daughter the other day. She’s travelling at the moment but it never occurred to me that she would do something so antique as sending hard copy. I’m glad she did though. I quite liked it.
I have no idea whether this was staged with actors or captured for real. But it’s pretty cool. I think the fact they had to leave their hats on makes the shot.
I wonder if scenes like that still happen? By the black and white of the Queen and the prices on the board I'd guess late-60s, early 70s? They only had analogue back then.
I've always looked at those shakos and thought they would purely suck in a parade. Ive been subjected to some dumb headgear in the past, but the shako takes the cake. It's hot, it catches the wind, and it doesn't keep rain out of your eyes. Plus, it's probably heavy. No, thanks. Cool you heard from the distant one.
