It's a Small World, August 1981

Nobody ever took a photo of "It's a Small World" before August, 1981. It seems hard to believe, but it's true. They didn't want to be rude, you see. And I appreciate it. 

Here are two striped little girls enjoying the afternoon August sunshine with their souvenir hats. The hat to the left says something about looking at the world through rose-colored lenses, and sure enough, the lenses look like roses! The girl in the middle prefers a floppier style that protects her from harmful UV rays. 


Enjoy the GAF Photo Trail, as well as the second photo ever taken of IASW!

The striped girl on the left is wearing her rose-colored lensed hat wrong. She's supposed to be looking through the lenses! Not only that, she's got her foot hopelessly stuck in the railing. Actually, I don't blame her for not looking through those colored lenses; it would bug the heck out of me. The girl on the right, one of her shoes is untied... or just about. But they both look happy, and that's what counts.

Nice crisp colors and focus on the 2nd photo. The toy soldiers are standing guard. Does that mean the clock is about to do its thing? Or maybe it already did? The guy on the right is scratching his head in confusion, "Hmm, this sure doesn't look like the Jungle Cruise to me!"

Nice clear, happy little photos today, Major.

The fashions in the second pic (especially those striped pants) tell me that these were taken earlier than 1981. And I see that both file names for these photos are actually labeled, "1971." So there you go!

Nice IASW and souvenir hat photos, Major. Thanks!
