“I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream”
November 19, 2016

Sleeping Beauty’s Castle, the center of Disneyland is along with the front gate Mickey flowers the most photographed element in the park. Photopass photographers, cellphone selfies, point-and-shoot cameras, digital cameras, film cameras all have been snapping pictures of this the icon of Disneyland itself for more than 60 years. And who can help themselves? Once you’ve entered the park and begun walking up Main Street you are almost subconsciously drawn towards it. I know I’ve never visited Disneyland and not taken a photograph of it. The castle is a true link back to the original vision of Walt Disney.

Red Rocks Amphitheatre with Denver in the background. This venue has won so many contests for the best sound that it is now excluded from participating in world wide contests of this type. Instead it has been given a lifetime award! We hope to attend a concert there this coming year.

Locals use the theatre for conditioning for hiking, weddings, reunions and parties. Very beautiful place!

This is the same location viewed from air last March. The theatre is located in the dip in the center of the highest ridge.

Magic of the Moment
November 19, 2016

We had just exited from Small World and the sky was absolutely on fire! Each of the “small pillows” of cloud was ringed with an incredibly bright and saturated red / orange. The intensity was something I have not often seen. I knew we were “missing” the peak of the show going off in the sky, so I hurried my group over to the courtyard behind the castle hoping to catch the spectacle before it was completely gone.

As we arrived, standing with my back to the carousel the lights in and on the castle came to life - timing sometimes is everything.

This image is one of the very few times I’ve actually felt I needed to tone down the intensity and color in order for the shot to be believed! The shadow areas were opened a bit and the sky was actually desaturated.

In hindsight I think it’s good I was on Small World where I couldn’t see the show happening in the sky from start to finish. I think I would have been literally running from place-to-place to try and capture more of it.
