I am guessing that a lot of you faithful GDB readers out there might not have discovered this blog until after 2008. That's nine years ago after all (how's that for amazing math skills?) - practically a lifetime in Internet years. Today's photos originally appeared in '08 to wild acclaim, large cash awards, and a visitation from Tabaré Vásquez, the President of Uruguay.
This great photo of the crowd milling around the base of the Matterhorn seems especially crisp and colorful - maybe it was that clear January air? The Matterhorn is still decked out in its early, darker paint scheme - I'm not sure when or why it was lightened, although my guess is that a lighter color helped with "atmospheric perspective" - the illusion that more air is between the guest and the object - in other words, the thing appears bigger and/or further away. This technique is theoretically why Sleeping Beauty Castle used to be more subdued in color.
Anyway, as always I love observing the guests - there's lots of kids, so perhaps school was still out for Christmas break. Or maybe it was just a typical weekend.
And now, another crisp, lemon/lime flavored view, showing fabulous Tomorrowland as seen from a Skyway bucket. Crowds were heavy for those days! I love seeing the curves of the Monorail track, the deep cyan of the Submarine lagoon, the Astro Jets and Space Bar, and rural Anaheim in the distance!
