Many of the slides from this lot (dating from July 1958) are pretty nice, but that doesn't mean that they are all winners!
Like this first one. It's not a bad photo, really... but it's not very good either. I guess if you are a fan of umbrellas, than you are having a good day. I'm trying to get inside the mind of the photographer to figure out what it was about this scene that inspired him/her to press the shutter button.
On the other hand, in spite of the kajillion photos of Sleeping Beauty Castle in my collection, I can still occasionally be impressed; and this one is a beauty, with the castle reflected in the water.
POSTCARD WORTHY!
Perhaps the photographer was duly impressed with the results of the white wings' outstanding efforts. I know I am.
ReplyDeleteAnd that Castle shot is a stunner. Thanks for sharing it with us to brighten up this gray and snowy morn.
That castle image certainly is better than any I took over the weekend at the park – the castle was covered in scaffolding (as was it's a small world) as part of the preparations for the upcoming anniversary!
ReplyDeleteChuck, it's true… that street is impressively clean! I wish you could send some of that weather our way.
ReplyDeletePeglegPete, I've seen photos of the castle with the scaffolding and the vintage artwork; hopefully the decor for Disneyland's 60th won't be an eyesore. There is just a little bit of ivy visible in today's picture!
Over the top, Major. Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks.

Perhaps the photographer could tell that the Tomorrowland entrance was something worth taking a pic of, but just didn't wait until he/she was closer to it. As a kid, I took a few pics like that in the park, because I just wasn't patient enough to wait until I was closer to my subject.
ReplyDeleteJG, thanks!
ReplyDeleteTokyoMagic!, your theory is as good as any, although this guy sure took a lot of nice photos. I always wonder if people who took better-quality photos just had a "good eye", or if they were trained?
