Duskety Dusk, 1973
Here's a pair of Snoozles™ that have their flaws, but they are kind of interesting too.
I'm wondering where our photographer was when he/she snapped this first image. Aboard the Peoplemover? Seeing the Mighty Matterhorn silhouetted by the setting sun inspired fear, revulsion, then laughter, and then ennui. It was a real roller coaster! Might as well take a picture, you know? Even in this dark state, we can see other Peoplemover trains, Skyway gondolas, and a few guests.
I'm reasonably certain that this one was taken from the Peoplemover, as the train was out at the westernmost end of the track, bordering on the Plaza. While there's not much to see down below, the spires of Sleeping Beauty Castle bristle pointily, making sure that door-to-door solicitors know to stay away. No solar panels needed, thank you very much.

Major-
I kinda like the Matterhorn image - including a partial glimpse of the Santa Fe logo on the Monorail station.
Thanks, Major.
Ooooh. I like this picture. So ominous. Time to cue Chernabog again! I can't stop looking at that outline. I like how the treetops are glowing orangey red in the last rays of the sun. And we can still see enough detail to make the image more interesting. One doesn't dare call this one a Snoozle, lest the Dark One comes and snatches you away!
OK, this one is less scary. It's hard to be ascared with palm trees in the picture. A northern European castle nestled in a dense dark forest. Reminds me of a scene from "Shrek". With the sun setting, Shrek would be lighting his earwax candles and digging in to a pungent stew of slugs and spiders.
These are rather nice, Major. They evoke a definite emotional response. Thanks.
Yes, the first one must have been taken from the PeopleMover, as it slowly descended downward into the Autopia freeway area
That second Snoozle is a flipped Snoozle!
I like the lighting in both photos! It just reminds me of being at the park as the sun would set, and all of the lights would come on.
Thanks, Major!
