Snoozles From March, 1961
Unlike a box of chocolates, you pretty much know what to expect from Snoozles™. Bad pictures!
I understand that guests aboard a Skyway gondola had limited mobility and not a lot of control of their view inside that tiny bucket, but having a photo perfectly bisected by one of the gondola's supports is pretty bad. It's too bad, otherwise it would be a decent picture.
From the same batch comes this photo taken from a Storybook Land canal boat; maybe our photographer liked the passing Casey Jr. Circus Train? Or the Matterhorn looming in the distance? Or gramps' hat? Whatever the case, this is a C- photo.

"... but having a photo perfectly bisected by one of the gondola's supports is pretty bad".
Well, looking on the bright side - at least the support wasn't protruding out of someone's head-!
Thanks, Major.
Pic #1: Ha!
Pic #2: My guess is the contrail or the leaning sickly palm.
Thanks, Major. I think. ;o)
Nanook: Ha!
Hmm, well I guess we should give the photographer credit for taking the photo at the precise time to perfectly bisect his photo. In a way, it gives us that "you are there" vibe; as a passenger, these bucket bars are gonna be in our line of sight almost everywhere we look.
Ha! I was going to ask, "What the heck is that Hawaiian lei thing draped over that gray boulder?" on the right. But it finally occurred to me; it's a little old gray-haired granny wearing some sort of tiara-hat thingy. Now I can sleep tonight. We can see only one Skyway bucket, and it's a yeller one. (Or white?) Looks like someone painted a huge cross on the Matterhorn to ward off vampires.
Sue, I was wondering about those contrails too. They criss-cross. Plus there are those two 'loopy' contrails, or clouds, on the left. I'm sure this is a bad omen!
Thanks for the fun fotos, Major.
JB, I think I see a flash of red — by that yellow/white bucket. IF that’s a bobsled, it offsets that bad omen, so no worries.
Sue, Hmm, I see the "flash of red", but I can't tell for sure what it is. Best to gird our loins for the worst!
