A Pair From May, 1960
I have two pretty nice scans from May, 1960. Don't let the overcast skies get you down! After all, it's water vapor, and we are 50% to 60% water (or in my case, Mountain Dew Baja Blast). You might think that I'd be tired of this view, but au contraire, mon frere. (That's right, I speak the French tres bon). It's still fun to peer down upon Fantasyland, with the Fan2 tent closest to us, and the Pirate Ship still in its ce-ment pond (but no critters) just beyond that. Enjoy the glimpses of Storybook Land, and even some backstage bits.
Here's a lovely view the Columbia, possibly taken from this bridge. It's a swell perspective, with the Plantation House to our left, and (I guess?) people in the lower left waiting to catch a raft to Tom Sawyer Island. The mother and two girls didn't get the memo that red was fashionable two or three years earlier. How embarrassing!

Ahhh... for the days of taking personal responsibility - not a railing in sight surrounding the 'pond' underneath the Chicken of the Sea Pirate Ship. Today's poor, 'helpless humans'-!
As for red not being fashionable for clothing even in 1960 - I'll have you know even now in the 21st Century, my wardrobe still sports a few red jackets and a red shirt-! (You should see/hear the 'loud applause' my outfits receive while walking around... not to mention adoring 'fans' yelling-out "Mr. Fashion Plate... we love you-!")
Thanks, Major.
I enjoyed your sailing ship display,Major.
Thanks!
Pre Skull Rock! I think we can see just a smidgen of Monstro on the right. I like this photo! Even though the gloom is trying its best to get me down... it just isn't working! Take THAT, gloom! Yeah, there is no one-thing to draw our attention, but there's plenty to see!
I think it was mostly red coats that dominated the late fifties, but I'm sure there was 'spillage' into other articles of clothing. Oh, by the way... Where are we standing? To get this elevated view? The roof of Aunt Jemima's? The Columbia is churning up water astern just like the Mark Twain. They must have a paddle wheel just under the surface. ;-p
Nanook, the adoring 'fans' may be yelling out, "Mr. Fashion Plate... we love you-!" But they're sniggering behind your back, muttering, "OK boomer". But you already knew that; hence the quotes around 'fans'. :-D
Two nice ones today, Major. Thanks.
@ JB-
I know of no such things. Folks only snigger in front of me, knowing it unwise to try that trick from behind-! (In addition to 'knocking 'em dead' on the runway - I also have eyes in the back of my head-!)
^ OK boomer... says this boomer. :-p
