Description

Photograph of a display at Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington. A wall painted in a flat illustration style mimics the appearance of a house, complete with windows and decorative occupants. In the top of the photograph a man and woman have been created, likely painted cut-outs, who have been depicted as wearing clothing likely from the early 20th century. They stand behind a large railing, with a diamond pattern painted on the wall below it. To the left of the railing is a roof painted to look like it's shingled, below which is a window whose right shutter is being opened by another cut-out figure. This figure has been positioned as peeking out from behind the left shutter while holding the right one open with an arm. Below the window is the top of a tall bush or shrub, to the left of which is the top of a propped-open door that appears to be both modern and functional. On the left of the open window and its figure is another window, though this one lacks shutters and is simply open-air. The top and right edges of the open window have been painted to appear as if they have curtains tied back to reveal the window, while a cut-out figure in a polka-patterned top and pointed hat raises their arms into the air.
