Black and White Leftuggies

Borrowing Major Pepperidges word for images of Disneyland that are just okay, today's posted photographs are just okay. Although I do have to admit that there is no bad photograph of Disneyland as I have universal love for any vintage Disneyland picture. The first photograph is of the Plaza with the Matterhorn in the background. However, the photo really just shows the sky and the asphalt.

The second image could have been spectacular but the moving Skyway bucket caused a blurry picture and there is still lots of sky. I still like the photograph for the newness of Tomorrowland in 1959.

The last shot is at least a slightly different view of the Mark Twain, but is once again blurry so the details of the guests are just not there. The excitement of docking and running off to another attraction is visible in the faces of the crowd.

Major Pepperidge your royalty check is in the mail.....

    The Tomorrowland image is nice for showing the newly built "Disneyland '59". In my opinion, the best expansion Walt's original park ever had.

    I like the Mark Twain image, it's fun to observe the people (and their souvenir hats).

    Are you kidding? The first photograph of asphalt and sky is a masterpiece of folk photography. Look at it anew.
