Snoozles™
I'm using up more of the (sadly) big batch of too-dark slides. I'm not proud of it!
Not only is this one too dark, but it's boring too. And it's a little blurry. And it smells like old onions (you'll have to take my word for that one). I love the mighty Columbia sailing ship, but it doesn't look so mighty when it is berthed in Fowler's Harbor. A Keelboat sits nearby, like the Columbia's little brother. Or rather, "sister", since it's the Bertha Mae.
And oh man, this one is just weird. The photographer accidentally placed his Ray Bans over the camera lens. You'd be surprised how often that happens. The result is a fairly terrible photo; I assume that the two boys are assuming "searching the horizon" poses, or else they are saluting me (Major Pepperidge) in acknowledgment of my heroic service during the Cola Wars.

Major-
I like the 2nd image, as it's the perfect example of a 'cloudy-bright' scene. (If the boys are saluting, they need to coordinate which arm is to be used, as the Indian chief offered little help ...)
Thanks, Major.
Major, Pic #2 must go in your next Instructions for Beginner Photographers book….
“To get the best natural shot of your subject, make sure they’re looking directly into the sun.”
Columbia: Blurry, yes. But I don't think it's too dark. (Did you lighten it up a bit?) Wonderfully warm, saturated color! Plus it's got that 'blue sky' factor. Woulda been nice to have a little less water off the bottom of the pic, and more mast at the top, but oh well. Yes it's a Snoozle (because of the blur), but it's a nice Snoozle.
OK, now this one IS too dark! Too dark to see details. Do you really think the boys are engaged in an 'Indian searching the horizon' pose? I guess they either do that pose or the 'cross your arms in front of your chest' pose like yesterday's Knott's pic. I just noticed that the kids are raising different arms up to their eyes. Maybe the boy closest to us is a lefty.
I see Nanook also noticed the different arms. Are they saluting or shading their eyes?
Bottom pic is definitely a Snoozle. Top pic... maybe. Thanks, Major.
The paint on the Chief's shoulder appears to be chipped. I know Chuck is going to tell me it's because the Chief is a Chippewa.
Thank you for the Sunday Snoozles, Major!
