Having grown up in OC, judging by the clouds in the sky I am assuming that earlier in the day there was a bit of marine layer that burned off by this time. I can just feel that cool chill in the air. I love photos that make you feel like you are in them, and I sure wish I could be in this one.<br /><br />Thank you Major for these particularly experiential photos.<br />Monkey Cage Kurthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14416939013314956531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-67245477703973950842015-09-25T09:09:40.826-07:002015-09-25T09:09:40.826-07:00Nanook, nearly all of the slides in this lot were ...Nanook, nearly all of the slides in this lot were taken late in the day, so I can only assume that our photographer didn’t get to the park until 3 or 4 o’clock - which means there are some too-dark images, but others have that great “golden hour” look.<br /><br />Graffer, I really wish I understood WHY the castle is so colorful now; in 50 years, it will be day-glo.<br /><br />Matterhorn1959, little did she know that popcorn boxes like that one would someday sell for well over $100!<br /><br />K. Martinez, I’m not sure when the crest was added, but the shield was blank for a number of years, I believe. As burned out as I can get looking at pictures of the castle, both of these make me happy.<br /><br />Melissa, they all got the memo!Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-1850911369769032192015-09-25T07:33:53.076-07:002015-09-25T07:33:53.076-07:00Wow, how nice of everyone to color-coordinate thei...Wow, how nice of everyone to color-coordinate their clothes for the first picture!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06169920944565828337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-76592749860665461462015-09-25T07:07:33.641-07:002015-09-25T07:07:33.641-07:00No crest on the castle's front yet.
The cloud...No crest on the castle's front yet.<br /><br />The cloudy skies, illuminated Castle and dark reflective waters of the moat make the last image a beauty. What perfection! Thanks, Major.K.

And that goes for most of Main Street too. The current imagineers do not understand the concepts of 'Less is More' or 'Gilding the Lily'.Grafferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00310484762808652536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-91766553239123019082015-09-25T00:11:13.742-07:002015-09-25T00:11:13.742-07:00Major-
