It sounds like they probably do!<br /><br />Chuck, Fuji Velveeta??<br /><br />Patrick Devlin, somehow I was never bothered by being able to see into other "lands" from Frontierland. Thanks for pointing out the driver with his boot on the brake, that's a great detail!Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-72773961215102606172014-12-30T15:57:31.277-08:002014-12-30T15:57:31.277-08:00That shot of the Stagecoach epitomizes something t...That shot of the Stagecoach epitomizes something that is captured in the look of Frontierland before, say, 1960: it always has an authentic, open look to it. Of course the downside of that openness is that no view blocks exist and you can see way too far. <br /><br />I also like the way the driver has his boot hard on the "emergency brake". After all the ponies are still idling their little horsey engines...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13819318798840978404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-21829319865563843232014-12-30T14:53:18.477-08:002014-12-30T14:53:18.477-08:00It's as though the vintage castle was shot in ...It's as though the vintage castle was shot in Kodachrome and the modern castle was shot in Fuji Velvia.<br /><br />Nice set today!Chucknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-34439769015086832622014-12-29T11:53:30.987-08:002014-12-29T11:53:30.987-08:00@ Ken-

I mean - it could have even been a shot taken 'between takes' on a movie or TV location.<br /><br />And, Major, as for "the use of color" by the average Joe, all you have to do is look at the way many folks "set up" their TV 'displays'. And I mean no offense here - but as a friend of mine is so fond of saying: <i>"There's enough color in that picture for <b>two</b> televisions-!"</i> Evidently the 'more is better' philosophy pleases many more than it displeases.<br /><br />Oh well.Nanookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255357829181568172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-70505093669965980162014-12-29T10:56:33.119-08:002014-12-29T10:56:33.119-08:00K.

As for the castle, I would bet money that if you asked the average person, they would say that they prefer the castle with more color. Which is why the park wasn't designed by average people!Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-49451613884973435642014-12-29T08:43:12.216-08:002014-12-29T08:43:12.216-08:00If the first image appeared on any other blog or w...If the first image appeared on any other blog or website, I would've never figured it was at Disneyland.<br /><br />I'll take Sleeping Beauty Castle minus the bling and Pepto-Bismol any day.K.
