HOODOOS!
Here is another selection of Frontierland photos, shared with us by the Mysterious Benefactor! We're continuing our look at Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, sort of an unintentional continuation from yesterday's images.
The tallest "hoodoo" is an impressive landmark on the east side of the Rivers of America, the rock work is top-notch. I especially like the way it looks at night, bathed in a soft reddish light.
Here's a trippy view; was this achieved by zooming in (or out) with the shutter open? Or did the photographer use a special lens? "Peyotevision".
More artsy stuff! I believe those clouds make what is known as a "buttermilk sky", which makes me want to listen to Hoagy Carmichael (especially the "Yabba Dabba Doo" song).
More rocks!
I like the attention to the landscape, with nice greenery to soften the harsh desert landscape. I wonder if they ever decide that a tree has gotten too big and needs to be replaced with a smaller one?
This picture is quite nice, with the wooden buildings looking appropriately blasted by years of exposure to the elements.
We're just starting to delve into the Big Thunder pix, with the next 50+ all featuring scenes from that ride! Although the next batch will concentrate on the cast members, so that will mix things up a little bit. THANK YOU, Mysterious Benefactor!

Major-
These are some mighty impressive images of Big Thunder - and its Hoodoos - one of the consolation prizes for losing The Mine Train Thru Nature's Wonderland.
Thanks to the M B-!
"Peyotevision". Or maybe "Coyotevision", after he got flattened by an ACME anvil falling from the sky. I agree, it IS pretty trippy.
In the "buttermilk sky" photo, it's kinda neat how the photographer positioned the camera just so, to get the sun peeking through that arch.
"More rocks": Looks nice to see a close-up of some long needled pine trees. They're in most Frontierland photos, but usually pretty far away and not very distinct.
"Nice greenery": Those red flowers add a welcome splash of vivid color to the scene. Although, pink, purple, and electric blue (with glitter) would've been nicer.
Lots of levels in the last image; from the foreground boulder to the distant hoodoo and trees. All baked in the golden sunlight. It creates a pleasant mood.
Nice images mixed with interesting images. Thanks to the MB and MP.
On my last pilgrimage, just before Galaxy's Edge opened, towering trees around Sleeping Beauty's castle actually made it look smaller than life.
