Two From August, 1970
Judging from this first scan, August 1970 was a very busy time to visit Disneyland. Just look at all those people! I looked to see if something was going on in front of the Castle, perhaps some characters were gathered there, or something. But no, it just appears to be a Summer crowd. I also checked "Jason's Disneyland Almanac" to see if any big events happened around that time, but all I found was the "Country Music Jubilee" on Sundays. The Yippees invaded the park on August 6th of 1970, but it seems unlikely that this was the same day.
Not far from the first photo is the Snow White Grotto, often a nice place to get away from the mob and relax. Listen to Snow White's voice, and the sound of the waterfalls, throw a quarter into the wishing well, and feel at peace.

Major-
Busy, busy, busy-!
Thanks, Major.
Wow, more beautifully lit photos! Just like yesterday. Major, you're spoiling us.
The pastel colors of the Castle really look nice here. Not faded, not garish... just right. The Dent, if it's there, is in shadow and can't be seen. Although, some of us with vivid imaginations can probably summon up the ghost of The Dent.
Wonderful play of light and shadow in the Snow White Grotto. The details of the statuary are clearly visible. Poor Dopey... he often gets chopped off from these photos.
Since you have spoiled us, we (me) will expect beautiful pictures like this every day! (Except Snoozle Sunday). Thanks, Major.
