Description
Colorized photo from 1905
Original title: Dreamland Park
Location: Coney Island, Brooklyn, NY
I found dozens of postcards of this amusement park, but none about this scene. There was no solid info on what the colors should be. But I imagined that it would be colorful and whimsical. Like a fun house like theme park should be. The building has an overall castle theme, but I'm not sure why.
I thought it was interesting that the show off to the right (which according to another image was a magic act), was more interesting than the pair of elephants right behind them. Or maybe they became so common place, it was just like any other animal to them.
The shadows are a bit crazy on this. The angle of the sun makes the shadows look like they are pointing in different directions. This can be seen on those cannon like things on the spire.
The sun is low though, so I figure its probably late in the day, hence why I turned the lights on, and added a bit of a sunset feel.
There must be about 200 flags on this, most of which are unknown to me, most have only 2 colors and they are mostly triangles. If they match up to a real flag, it might be amazing. I did use colors from other flags though.
