Snoozles, August 1970
Here's a pair of Snoozles™, with "issues" that are typical with these less-than-wonderful photos. Both are from August, 1970.
I enjoy a nice Keelboat photo, especially when the boat is passing the waterfalls of Cascade Peak. Both the Keelboats and Cascade Peak are long gone, sadly. This isn't even a terrible photo, some of the focus is off, though small portions are relatively clear, which is due to Dark Energy. If you look carefully, you can see some guests on their Pack Mules in the upper right.
In general, don't point your camera at somebody when the sun is practically in the frame with them! I learned this from Alfie Adams (Ansel's evil twin brother). A woman is posing near the top of Castle Rock, but we can barely see her. Sure, she has her cloaking device turned to 50%, but even so.

The couple sitting inside the keelboat, on the lower right, look like they’re from an early 1960s romance movie filmed in Italy or France. I can even hear the background music playing, too….
I think those burros are blurry because they’re running at breakneck speed.
Thanks, Major. Another fun Sunday.
Dark Energy. Tricky stuff, that. The cause of many GDB Snoozles. Blurry photos aren't blurry when they are taken, nope. They only become out of focus when a cloud of Dark Energy drifts by. Then.... WHAM! Blurry. The pack mules got hit especially hard in this photo. It IS a nice, close-up view of the Bertha Mae.
Cloaking devices. Tricky stuff. Another cause of many GDB Snoozles. Invented by Sir Albert Cloak in 1853 while fiddling with his camera obscura, then lost to time (due to a spilled glass of sherry), until the Romulans re-invented it in the 23rd century. The rest is history.
In some ways, the silhouette effect makes the picture more interesting. Without the people ruining the scale, this could be a large rock formation in the southwest desert.
Sue, I had sort of the same thought about that couple. Except I imagined them as part of a French Impressionist's painting.... I didn't hear any music though. (Maybe you should have that looked into.) :-D
Major, the pictures may have been Snoozles, but your commentary elevated them to a higher dimension (Dark Energy again). Thanks.
