At first I thought the bottom picture was a colorized version of the top one, or the top one a greyscale version of the bottom one. Then I realized the difference of all the cars on top that aren't there in the bottom photo, as well as that the one car in the parking lot that is in the bottom photo is facing the opposite way from the car in a similar position on top, and other differences like the presence of the flags in the color photo, and one more tower showing on the left in the B&W one. Finally, the symbols of the fair, the "trylon and the perisphere", are not visible at all in the top (B&W) photo. You'd think they should be. Is it just that there was no contrast between them and the surrounding bright sky, so they appear "invisible" in the black-and-white picture? Otherwise, the two shots are remarkably similar.
