A Pair From March 1961

Here's a neat view of Tomorrowland as seen from the Skyway load platform (it's almost our turn!). There's a lot going on, with the Autopia, Monorail, Matterhorn, Skyway, Submarines, and even a Rocket Jet or two if you look carefully. If only this was a stereo view, think of the great 3-D effect that would have been produced.


This second photo is from the same lot as the first, and some clouds have come rolling in. It even looks a little like rain. The monorail looks swell here. I was going to use Photoshop to eliminate that man's cigarette, because the mere sight of a person with a cigarette in a movie or photo will drive most of you to take up smoking. It's a proven fact! But then I decided to eat some Doritos instead.

These are beauties but I think you should have Photoshoped a Dorito in that man's mouth, LOL!

Dorito's - yum.... eating a bag of Cool Ranch as I read your post...

Cigarette guy's shirt is buttoned up but no tie, we used to tease people for that! The ground looks a little messy, what do you know - cigarette buds!!!

Mr. or Ms "March 61" certainly knew a good shot when they saw it. None of them are perfect, but they are well composed for tourist shots.

Brought to you today by "triangla". "Triangla" -- for geometry with an Italian flair.

Connie, I am ashamed that I didn't think of putting a Dorito in that guy's mouth. Time to start drinking....

VDT, two guys are dressed like that, it must have been the style!

Katella Gate, did the triangular Dorito make you think of "Triangla"?

Katella Gate said...

No Major, "Triangla" was today's password for me. Obviously with the Doritos, it must be the season for triangles.

Gotcha!

Exceptionally nice today, even with the cig's.

Now, if that were pot, the guy would be fine today.

I can't smoke in this helmet anyway.
