Snoozles™
It's that time again - SNOOZLE SUNDAY! This first scan is from July, 1962. It's not too dark, and is in focus, so it has that going for it. It's just kind of an odd image - one that somebody aboard the Skyway took as they neared the Matterhorn. Is it just me, or is the water actually dyed a pale greenish-blue? In fact it looks like the water has colored the "rocks". Maybe they put a Ty-D-Bol tablet in the alpine stream, I hope the little man in the boat was OK. For some reason I'm fascinated by the molded in "pots" where stunted trees are planted. They are fed a diet of beer and junk food to keep them small, because (I hate to tell you) TREES HAVE SCALE.
Next, from 1970s is this not-so-bad photo of a family of Triceratops, as seen in the wonderful "Primeval World" diorama. Little Tricerapups are hatching out of their eggs, and they are doing a pretty embarrassing job of it if you ask me. No wonder they went extinct. Still, they are cute, and I wish I had a pet baby Triceratops. When it got too big, I'd release it into the sewers. I've always liked the smiles on the faces of the parents, and the "querking" noise that the babies make.

Well, the water certainly looks blueish in this image. I suppose we'll never know if it really is dyed or just a trick of the camera. Nowadays, they probably use Saran wrap for the waterfalls. (Saran is Spock's uncle.)
The Triceratops pic is a little out of focus but still quite good; perfect exposure. Little known fact: Triceratops didn't go extinct. They just got smaller over the last 65 million years. Today we call them Horny Toads.
Not sure these are Snoozles. Maybe Snoozle-ish. Either way, I'm glad you posted them, Major. Thanks.
