Beautiful Frontierland
Today I am sharing more photos from the Mysterious Benefactor! There's no Mark Twain or Columbia in sight, either. Instead, all of these photos show the Rivers of America.
First up, two young women gaze across the river toward a passing Canoe and the Old Mill, while two Rafts and a Keelboat can also be observed. The Haunted Mansion peeks up from above the treetops!
This one is from a different angle, perhaps from the area in front of the Golden Horseshoe? We're seeing the Mill from the side, with a non-operational Tom Sawyer Island Raft at the landing. There's the French Market (now "Tiana's Palace") to the left, while on a few columns of the Haunted Mansion can be seen.
The next four scans show the River at its prettiest, not to mention the fact that it is very convincing as a real river, and not something that was carved out of orange and walnut groves in 1955. The Canoe in the foreground tells us that this was taken from the Canoe landing; I'm a bit surprised that we can't see the Friendly Indian Village in the distance, though it might be just around the bend.
Now we're looking southward, with the Canoe landing on our right, and Tom Sawyer Island on our left.
The water reflects the sky in peacock-blue hues, while normal nice ducks that never explode rest nearby. Only experts can tell the difference, non-experts have to tap on the heads of the ducks. I can just see some collapsed patio umbrellas to the left, and perhaps a bit of the Hungry Bear restaurant too? Not sure.
And finally, another beautiful view, I believe that this was taken from TSI, though I am uncertain about that. It truly is hard to believe that a bustling theme park was mere steps from this scene!
THANK YOU, Mysterious Benefactor!

Major-
These images certainly capture the beauty of the Rivers of America and TSI.
Thank you M B-!
1) Not sure what the lady on the left is doing: Yawning? Calling to someone? Scratching an itch on her face? Putting her hand to her face in shock after seeing an AED explode? I guess we'll never know. Wow, all of the rivercraft are PACKED! And we get a good look at one of those topless coonskin caps on the rear Canoe guy. I get a good feeling seeing all this activity on the RoA.
2) I like the glassy water in this pic. Maybe that was the main reason this photo was taken?
3) The RoA is looking dark and mysterious here. Sort of like The Jungle Cruise.
4) Lots of AEDs here. Good thing there are no people on this stretch of the River!
5) Tapping ducks on the head to see if they're real? If it happens to be an AED... your duck tapping days are over!
6) I wonder what that bright spot is nestled amongst the trees near the center of the pic?
Nothing specific was featured in these photos. As Nanook suggests, I think maybe that was intentional; to show the River's natural beauty. Thank you, MB and Major.
