Snoozles From August, 1970
I have some proper Snoozles™ for you today, real stinkers from beyond the grave. Well, they're not from beyond the grave, but you have to admit that that sounded cool.
One of my favorite scenes is the Sacred Elephant Bathing Pool, which was added in 1962; and of those squeaky-clean elephants, I particularly like the fellow enjoying a cool shower beneath a tropical waterfall. He's having the best time! The trouble with this photo is that it is not good.
Oh boy, how's this for a Snoozle? It looks like our photographer was suddenly inspired to try to capture a passing Keelboat. QUICK! But those Keelboats are sneaky, it slipped behind that shrub on Tom Sawyer Island in a jiffy, leaving us with this extremely "meh" images.

Major-
That skipper on the Keel Boat has really extended the coily cord on his handheld microphone to the max. (I can hear the cord screaming even now).
Happy Sunday, Major.
Well OK. I have to agree. The photo isn't very good. It's kinda 'busy'; we hardly notice the showering elephant. It's a little blurry, except for the foreground leaves. The baby elephant looks sort of like an afterthought, hiding in the foiliage. That said.... it's not that bad of a photo. We do see a couple of effalumps, and the waterfall, and the waterfall rocks. And the foreground leaves make a nice frame for the focal point, which unfortunately is out of focus.
Now THIS is a Snoozle! A whoooole bunch of blurry leaves! Plus, some sort-of-blurry people with their backs to us. A lotta dark, empty void. Although we do see a teepee and a mummy-wrapped corpse, which is always fun to see. :-\
Maybe this one will win "Snoozle of the Year".
An excellent way to start off a sleepy Sunday! ;-p Thanks, Major
Given that the Jungle Cruise is a very difficult attraction to photograph, I will automatically add 10 points to any photo score. But, this is a sadly blurry picture nonetheless. I do love how this AA elephant has a second career as an Instagram influencer because so many people think he is a real elephant.
The keelboat photo is very weak, nothing else to say about it. The body in the funeral circle is in the Unfriendly Indian Village on TSI, so it appears to have been taken from the Mine Train heading the opposite direction from the boat. The speed differential catches up and all we get are leaves. Thanks anyway, Major, it was worth a try.
Thanks for Snoozles today, I will set these aside for viewing again before my afternoon nap.
