I have always loved this image from the Loyd Sandgren collection as a documentary image despite not having any information about the specifics of the shot. Great parade float from the 1950’s, military missiles during the cold war with Russia, beautiful girl in her Southern Bell formal gown passing spectators in a house dating from the early 1900’s. This could well have been the Gator Bowl parade since everyone has on their jackets and the trees are bare. So much visual and social information.
