Two iconic aircraft, for sure.

It would be great to have some background on this picture?

Sam,
Some judicious editing can help, but sometimes you have to accept a little less in order to get pics of rare aircraft. Shooting todays aircraft around an airport is sorta like the old saw; "They're like trolleys, if you miss one, another will be right along" you'll wait along time to get a B-47 and a Connie together like this :-) .

Sam, the building behind the two aircraft is The Museum Of Flight near Seattle.
The Connie is a Lockheed 1049 Super G dressed in TCA (Trans Canada Air Lines) clothes; registration CF-TGE. It was found up in Toronto being used as a restaurant by a Mr. Bob Bogash. (I think I have his name properly; I'm just home from two surgeries in six days and I am a bit swacked out on Percocets and Hydrocodones. lol) He devoted countless time and effort to buy it and then to obtain permissions to have it trucked out of Canada and into New York State. Many months afterwards, it was hauled across the country to the museum where the refurbishing and reconstruction took place.
This was the "unveiling" event. (I'm not certain of the exact date but I believe it was last year.) The B-47 has been in front of the museum's main entrance for several years. After this event, the Connie was moved to the Museum's Air Park and can be viewed there today.
I have no idea about where the photog was standing, but from the angle and distance I'd guess he was over at the Clay Lacy facilities which are on the other side of the runway and a bit north of the museum.

Thanks for the info skyhawkrq and Gary, I appreciate it. Gary, I wish you a quick recovery...Sam
