A Pair From July 1962
It's a mixed bag today - one nice scan, and one "meh" scan. But we must carry on.
First up is this look at some boys (it's ALL boys) waiting for their turn to ride the Tomorrowland Autopia. Based on the date, those should be the Mark V vehicles (in case you are keeping a tally). Just visible in the distance (and through the trees) are the yellow passenger cars of the Disneyland Railroad. It's too bad one of the Monorails wasn't passing overhead, that would have made this an extra-great pic!
Next is this somewhat mundane look at the Matterhorn and Skyway. Both of these slides had shifted to blue, and as usual, I seem to have a tough time restoring those to anything that resembles normal colors. I'm sorry that we didn't get a bobsled sighting.

Major-
"(it's ALL boys) waiting for their turn to ride the Tomorrowland Autopia".
For a short time, it was known as the Testosterone Tomorrowland Autopia.
Thanks, Major.
Even without the Monorail, this is a great pic. Such streamlined perspective! I'm sure Melissa would say, "Vrooom!" The teen leaning against the fence has a red book (or something) in his hands. ¿Que es? Funny that the only two cars we can see are the same aqua color.
We're looking through the Fantasyland side of the Nostrils. There seems to be a lot of termite damage on the right side of the Mountain. Walt needs to look into that. The Matterhorn looks especially majestic here. It also looks a bit like Mt. Crumpit.
I would say both these pics are pretty darn good. Thanks, Major.
