OK-zles
Today I have some OK-zles for you (not Blurzles, not Snoozles - it's important to know the difference). Both of these are perfectly OK! We'll start with this totally fine look at the Mark Twain (from October 1971). If it feels familiar, it's only because we've seen 10,000 photos that are just like it. And yet... it still sort of surprises me at the "forest" behind the steamboat. Where is everything??
Next is a decent picture (from August 1961) looking up at the Matterhorn, while two climbers ascend up the icy slopes. Watch out for abdominal snowmen!

"we've seen 10,000 photos that are just like it." Hmm, I counted only 9,993. I guess I missed a couple.
I really like this photo! Not sure what sets it apart from the other 9,999 photos of the Mark Twain. Maybe it's the angle of the light. Plus, even the shadows are not so dark; you can see what's there. And then there's the clear blue sky; always a plus.
Is that the roof of the Matterhorn loading station we're seeing at the bottom of the pic? We can almost tell whose climbing the Mountain: Fritz? Otto? Hans? Sleepy? Dopey? I wonder if the climbers follow the same routes every time? Or if they deliberately map out a new path each time? I like the camera angle here; looking up, up, up!
If this is a standard representation of what OK-zles are like, then bring on some more! Thanks, Major.
”Watch out for abdominal snowmen!”
….and frostbit knees.
The MH looks small from this angle.
Thanks, Major.
Major, I REALLY like the angle on that second photo. I see that you gave it a file name of, "Boring Matt." I don't think it's boring! And which one of those mountain climbers is "Matt"? ;-)
