Great Black and White Disneyland Images

I rarely use the word great to describe most of the photographs, but these two snapshots are great. First up is an image of a boy and his dad starting the trip to nowhere in particular on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. What makes this great is the shot of the mural in the background. The mural previewed the trip guests would take with Mr. Toad.

The second image shows the dad and another son hanging out on Main Street in front of the Insurance of North America storefront. The photo shows a nice close up of how the light pole signs were installed for the 1958 opening of the Grand Canyon tunnel on the Disneyland Santa Fe Railroad. The trash can in the background is also great.

Patrick-

These are great. And in the second image we can clearly see the kid has Daddy's ears. How very unfortunate at that tender age.

Happy Thanksgiving, indeed.
