I am guessing you’d still be able to hear conversations on the ground, maybe you could yell “hello” to a family member. And then the buckets made the climb to the top of Holiday Hill.<br /><br />K. Martinez, I don’t mind patina, but when the problem is just a bad scan or bad color-correction, I feel pretty good about redoing them.<br /><br />Patrick Devlin, I have always liked those little pueblos, especially the ones on the tumbling or teetering boulders. Imagine being the inhabitants of those little buildings!Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-27148969219076251672016-04-13T11:18:04.062-07:002016-04-13T11:18:04.062-07:00Lovely work, Major.

I had always wondered if that was a new tower or whether they had simply put cladding over the old one.<br /><br />One of favorite things: the little pueblos on the tops of the rock works. That's where the Ten Little Indians lived. (Ugh.) It's also looks like the Mine Train passes under a sort of natural bridge. That wasn't there by the time I can remember riding the NWRR. Kinda cool!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13819318798840978404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-74964149004252057432016-04-13T08:35:42.862-07:002016-04-13T08:35:42.862-07:00Major, usually I like the patina of the older look...Major, usually I like the patina of the older looking photos, but the Skyway picture really does benefit from your rescan. The Astro-jets attraction really stands out here as does the Viewliner sign and Tomorrowland Skyway tower colors. Thanks!<br /><br />Nancy, the original Tomorrowland Skyway Tower was replaced with a more modern taller tower when the new Skyway buckets were installed.K.

Wonder if that is just an optical illusion, or if they were lower in the beginning. The first view (so beautiful, by the way, Major), really shows the simplicity of early Disneyland. I love it. <br /><br />The mules are so cute, playing follow the leader there. I thought as well that it was maybe early in the day before the attraction opened. <br /><br />Two beauties today.

I particularly like the 'so low you can almost reach up and touch them' Skyway buckets-!<br /><br />Thanks, Major, for more miracles from the scanner bed.Nanookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255357829181568172noreply@blogger.com
