Snoozles From August, 1965
Sometimes I wonder if I should continue to share Snoozles™ here on GDB. But I guess it's a way to post some "content", even if it is not great - on a day when viewership is low. Lower than usual, I mean (it's always low)!
Neither of today's pictures is terrible, they are just a bit "soft", focus-wise. I'm never sorry to have a look at an Omnibus. My eyes always immediately go to the mini-posters on the side, I kind of wish they would bring those back (with a mix of new and old artwork of course). Having finally taken several rides on the Omnibus, I can confidently say that the top level is the best! Shocking, I know.
This one is in focus, but it's rather dark. The Streetcar is in Town Square, and is being pulled by what I believe is a Percheron horse rather than the Belgian Draft Horses that we seem to see so often. I want to feed him an apple. There's a couple to the right of the horse's head, and above them you can see a lamppost sign for DISNEYLAND '65, the joyful Tencennial celebration.

Major, your reason for posting Snoozles in the first place, still stands. Why 'waste' your really good photos on Sunday when viewership is lower? Plus, if a photo is truly deserving of the Snoozle title, We get to mercilessly make fun of it! Always a fun thing to do. :-)
I'm with you; the top deck of the Omnibus is the only place to be! If the top was already full, I'd wait for the next Bus to come along.
The photographer must be more of a horse lover than a Streetcar lover; making the horse the center of attention. I sometimes wonder if the horses' blinders actually serve a purpose here in the Park? The horses seem very well trained and habituated to this environment. Seems doubtful that they would get startled by something off to the side, and bolt. Maybe the blinders are just for show; part of the horse's 1905 'costume'.
If you could come up with another category to post imperfect pictures then maybe you could retire the Snoozle title. A rose, by any other name... still has thorns. Or something like that. Thanks, Major.
Major, I vote for continuing Snoozle Sunday.....especially if you still have a lot of slides that you would classify as "not great." But maybe you'd rather have the day off (however, I know you actually write multiple posts at once, in advance). I know that I appreciate everything you share with us, even if I don't comment on some days. I do always read and enjoy your posts, no matter what the subject is, or the quality of the photos. You could post completely blurry or messed up photos and call them "Boo-zles," and I would still read the post to see what you had to say about them.
As always, a big thank you for all the effort you put into your blog posts, for our benefit!
