Those brollies suggest a drizzle

Great wagon shots each and every one. Thanks for taking the time to post all these. Every time I look again I see many fascinating details on wagons and in the back round.

Note that the telescoping elephant is not fully raised. And there is a guy standing there with a pole by which to raise electric and telephone wires that were hanging too low for the tall wagon to pass underneath.

The problem of the hanging wires caused the demise of these majestic telescoping tableaus, at least as fully telescoped.

Many old time parade shots will show umbrellas. They were probably used for shade. Umbra means shade or something to that effect.

How beautiful to see all of the wagons. I loved seeing a lot of them in the circus parade in Madison. It is fun to hear some of the stories that go with them.

I thought that guy with the pole

was another statue Richard but

the pole was out of proportion

Thanks for the help
