Snoozles™ From March 1961
Snoozles! They are just a part of life, and the sooner we accept it, the happier we will be. The first photo could be admired for providing a nice "you are there" feeling, but the little girl's head does not exactly improve the view. Sorry, little girl! By now you'd think that I'd stop missing the Skyway, but I really do still miss it!
Next is this "blah" image, probably intended to show the name of Story Book Land (three separate words) spelled out in greenery, but we also see the exit turnstiles, and a striped trashcan. The snow-capped peaks of Geppetto's Village can just be seen beyond the hillside.

Major-
Your'e right - without Suzie's head and ponytail practically dead center - that would be a nice image - except for chopping-off the top of the Matterhorn. Oh well... vapor trails.
Not enough credit is given to the lowly turnstile. This pair appears to be made by the H. V. Bright Turnstile Co. - who invented and patented the self-regulating turnstile in 1876. Most (if not all) of the turnstiles in Disneyland were made by Perey Turnstiles, Inc. (I do wonder if Disneyland bought this Story Book Land pair used...)
Thanks, Major.
I noticed that JB hasn’t commented yet. He must’ve partied a lot, yesterday.
In the second pic, I think “Waste” just exited SBL, and is heading home…he’s probably done for the day.
Nice, chestnut colored hair, Little Girl. I see this photo was taken before Disney figured out how to keep the Matterhorn snow from melting in the warm Anaheim summers. Hmm, looks like some government black-ops jets have been circling the Matterhorn, leaving behind some chem trails. We can see just a smackerel of the Moonliner playing peek-a-boo to the right of the Mountain. We can also see a smidgen of the Alice ride and its purple leaves.
Looks like the Canal Boats CM/hostess is costumed to look like Alice. That's a very nice, crisp, close-up of the striped trashcan; probably the best we've seen! A red-letter day! 8-\ I do like how they softened the "Waste" message by placing it in that decorative banner. I also like how they softened the look of the cyclone fencing with the white, wood decor. Nice interplay of light and shadow, even if the composition is not the best.
Sue, I'll have you know that my average commenting time is 12:32. (I keep track) ;-)
Thanks for the barely Snoozles, Major.
