Ornamentation…

When I found myself wandering among old cars in an automobile graveyard like Old Car City I found it to be way too much information to process all at once. There was no rhyme or reason to how the cars were displayed, and I had to wander among them to find the details of what I was seeing.  Since the big picture was a lot to take in I found myself interested in the details, like the hood ornaments of these old cars.
