This photo of Angelenos out for a stroll along Windward Ave at Venice Beach circa 1915 kind of makes me wish they had Kodachrome back then. Abbot Kinney’s “Venice of America” project was only 10 years old at that point so everything would still have been fairly fresh and still as Kinney had envisioned it in all its faux Venetian glory: the architecture, the straw hats, the motorcars, the electric lights, and that “WELCOME” sign we can see all the way in the background.
