Snoozles™

"Gladys, get the kids, it's Snoozle Time!". "SNOOZLE TIME???" (Gladys faints). That's right folks, gird your loins for some "just OK" scans.

 This first one is dated "November 1963", and appears to have been taken from the "Huck's Landing", one of two areas on Tom Sawyer Island where rafts could... um... land (the other being "Tom's Landing", near the Old Mill). This image isn't too bad, just a bit dark. Looking across the river, we see Canoes that I thought were empty at first, but now I see that they are loading up with guests. They probably won't be full crews, however. I wonder if that little group of guests on the shore are people in line for Canoe rides?


Next is this scan from July of 1964, an upshot of some waterfalls crashing down from Cascade Peak. I don't believe this is Big Thunder Falls, but... maybe it is?

Major-
I do believe it's Big Thunder Falls. (Experts, please chime-in),

Thanks, Major.

An interesting photo because it gives us a view of things we don't see very often. Like the Canoe loading station from the other side than what we usually see. At first I couldn't figure out what that brown strip was on the right. Then I got it: It's the shade awning for the Indian Dance Circle. Unless I'm wrong and it's something else.

I see that the bighorn sheep have left for greener pastures and better rocks to climb on. I thought maybe that was the water gong alarm we can see half of, on the right edge, but it isn't red, so it's probably just an unexploded land mine left over from WWII.

Pretty good Snoozles this week, Major. Thanks.

Both unique shots….not Snoozles IMO. Possibly Blurzles, but not Snoozles.

That 2nd one looks like a giant octopus face.

Thanks, Major.

I'm surprised that the photographer didn't get any "water spray" on the lens of his or her camera, for that second pic!

Thanks for these unusual pics, Major. I don't think they are Snoozles!
