London 1903

This is a real photograph -- if I were teaching a creative writing class, I'd like people to write about who is in one of these carriages and why and where they're going... this photo looks like a scene from a movie, and it's odd to think it's real.

  2. It would be somber -- definitely NOT ragtime!

  3. Well, in 1903 London was pretty somber, smoky (all those coal fires) and I know it is hard to tell from the photo, but smelly, too.
