It’s still so surprising that they did not maintain the wooden skeleton of the peak, considering the nearby water (a disastrous combination over the long run). Don’t you live in a plastic house of the future? No bug problems!<br /><br />K. Martinez, I am entirely in agreement with you! Waterfalls, fountains, streams, ponds… they make a surprising difference in a landscape.<br /><br />Tom, those small trees did eventually get big - too big, really. It made the peak look a lot smaller, even though it was still great. Meanwhile, I’ll never forget, a few years ago Adobe demonstrated the ability to undo motion blur (it was hosted by Rainn Wilson, might be on YouTube), and it was incredible. So far that has not been incorporated into any versions of Photoshop.<br /><br />Nanook, do you need your windshield washed?!<br />Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-64381452632133541882017-05-02T10:15:15.020-07:002017-05-02T10:15:15.020-07:00@ Alonzo P Hawk-

The smaller trees allows the rockwork and landscaping to play a much greater role in the scenery; it makes them feel grander somehow. I think Disneyland today would benefit from a major pruning all over. <br /><br />As for the color of the pictures - they look great! Too bad there's no fixing motion blur.<br />Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14726949166373732451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-86302046908525438452017-05-02T07:04:27.025-07:002017-05-02T07:04:27.025-07:00Wasn't there someone who said "You've...Wasn't there someone who said "You've seen one waterfall, you've seen them all"? Or was it the redwoods?<br /><br />Water, waterfalls and other water elements strongly increase the beauty and wonder of a theme park in my opinion. Cascade Peak was a prime example of that.<br /><br />There's something magical about seeing the little yellow mine train rollin' along through Nature's Wonderland. Thanks, Major.K.
