+Use the full `YYYY-MM-DD` date when known; `YYYY-MM` or `YYYY` is acceptable for historical photos
+where only that much is recorded (e.g. `masonic-temple-historic-pd-1922.jpg`). The sidecar always
+carries the original capture date as precisely as the source states it.
+
 Use lowercase words separated by hyphens, the camera view (`day`, `night`, `entrance`, `profile`,
 `across-street`), the source (`wikimedia`, `ownphoto`, `mapillary`), and the capture or download
 date. Never overwrite an existing file; add a new dated file instead

+Boulevard, used as evidence for the venue's proportions, signage and staging. They are
+development reference only and are **not** shipped with the game.

+| --- | --- |
+| ![El Capitan facade, day, with three vertical banners](el-capitan-facade-day-wikimedia-2009-10-27.jpg) | **Facade, day.** Six Ionic columns, the Masonic parapet motto, banner count and size, stone joints, window rhythm and the marquee overhang. |
+| ![El Capitan theatre blade sign and the Masonic temple frontage from the street](el-capitan-theatre-blade-sign-day-wikimedia-2008-10.jpg) | **Block relationship.** The theatre's vertical blade sign next to the temple frontage, the setback, kerb line and street width. |
+| ![The Masonic Temple in 1922, before the theatre complex](masonic-temple-historic-pd-1922.jpg) | **Original elevation.** The 1922 facade with the motto band, cornice and column order, before later signage and tenants. |
+| ![Ovation Hollywood across the boulevard](ovation-hollywood-across-street-pd-2006-12-28.jpg) | **Across the street.** The Ovation Hollywood frontage, its height relative to the temple, and the plaza opening on Highland. |
+| ![Red carpet premiere staging with barriers along the sidewalk](premiere-staging-street-day-wikimedia-2006-02-12.jpg) | **Premiere staging.** Red carpet run, crowd barriers, tent line and the way the sidewalk narrows for an event. |
