Well, I guess it is a small world, after all.
Great job of capturing the Disneyland experience !
Great Christmas Displays everyone !
Awesome !
Yeah! And they weren't even in the room!
Last stop Fantasyland:
And we've arrived at the base of the Matterhorn:
A panoramic look at Disneyland:
And we can do Circlevision too!
That's our walking tour of Disneyland. Don't you wish you could be an inch and a quarter high for just a couple of hours?
One more thing. High def cameras pic up things that are invisible to the naked eye:
Like scale sized cobwebs!
Trains, trains, wonderful trains. The more you get, the more you toot!
I knew those Daleks would cause trouble!!! Glad all is well!!
Part 2, Main Street and Tomorrowland:
These guys need paint!
Too bad they don't really work!
The view at the "hub".
Do you smell something?
FIRE!
During the removal of the Monorail station, the wiring block snagged the thin 20ga wires of the station's lights and shorted out! The result was a few seconds of hair raising and trying to prevent the carpet from catching as the wires got incinerated. I'll have to test the station next year, it's undamaged (as is the carpet, whew!) but it's only 2 14v bulbs which I'll probably replace to stay on the safe side.More pics to come!
Well....I didn't. But I may let them destroy Plasticville.
Here I go marching toward the Matterhorn!
I call this a "people eye" view:
Does Casey see with Ward Kimball's eyes?
The glue people seem to be having fun:
That's Jupiter "rising" over Pinocchio:
More to come!
If you do, I wanna see it!!!!
Whatever you do, just make sure that little home-made Tom Baker is there to stop 'em!
Jim Hornaday Awesome to see the Dr turn up anywhere!!
Awesome to see the Dr turn up anywhere!!
Thanks! Actually, I'm in the process of trying to decide just how crazy I am. I have these paper Daleks see, and I'm thinking of allowing them to take down Disneyland....
But am I crazy enough to do all that stop motion animation...

It's a TOY, A child's PLAYTHING!!! (Woody from Toy Story)
Major When in Nuremburg Germany in 2006 at the Zepplin Platz (the place of the Nazi political rallies) My son, wife and I heard the sound of radial engines overhead, We looked up and a JU-52 was flying above us. Talk about timing!

Lucky guy you! Lufthansa's pet JU-52 was supposed to stop here in Richmond VA on it's US tour around 20 years ago but never made it, it had some engine trouble somewhere.
That's all right, I've seen plenty of other historic aircraft in flight, why be greedy?
And if one JU-52 passing overhead is a blast from the past, how about six of them?

Thank goodness there's no fallschirmjaeger dropping out of them!
Beautiful!
Great shots Major, and I see in photo nine "Tante Ju" came for the holidays.
The old girl gets around!
It's a good thing that we never paid full price for any of the German buildings and even got some of them pre build for very little money!
Major - 3 very nice pikes. Your son's German layout is awesome. He has a fortune in Kibri and Vollmer sitting there. Thanks for sharing.
PennyT - your work inspires.
Here are a few photos from my son's place with some Standard Gauge trains under the tree, His German HO layout and a couple of photos of my S-Scale layout. Trains are everywhere!
Thanks! It's a Sony Cybershot DSC-H300.
Becky, what specific model 20 megapixel 720p Sony did you get?
I think your photos have always looked very professional.

I was playing with my new toy today.
First time I've had a lens large enough to get it all in one photo.
The Sony is much better at "twilight" shots than my Fuji ever was.
There's almost depth to the water.
Even in the fountain.

Color saturation effects are better too.
I can mess with the depth of field too.
And I have the megapixels now to use just one tiny segment of a much larger photo without losing much sharpness.
And the zoom from accross the room isn't bad either.
My four year old second cousin was over this past Saturday and he called this the "shark tooth tree". I always thought it was a kite eating tree!
I like riding the Jungle Cruise in the evening.
The wildest thing happened this year. I had a simple loop of track with a 2026 pulling three green pullman passenger cars. On Christmas morning my daughter got a note from Santa saying he hopes that her dad wouldnt mind that he played with the train. Pullmans gone and replaced with gondolas filled with mints. Hmm...

Dave,
I always admire your photos. They are the best.

That's a Junkers JU-52, called "Tante Ju" by Lufthansa an Luftwaffe pilots who flew it.
Quite a remarkable airplane, kind of a German DC-3. There's still some flying today.
Milk. It does a body good.
This is what I do with the teeny tiny blue comet 400e that Hallmark put out as an ornament a few years back. I made a mini set box and let some standard gauge sized kid play with it.
8ntruck Penny - is that a Ford, a Fokker, or a Junkers flying over your layout?

I've been told it's a "Tante", a Junkers that I removed the armaments from and turned into a Lufthansa plane.
Santy Claus brought me a new toy.
Nope. It's not in the photo. It's the 20 megapixel 720p Sony that took it. So watch out! I'm high def now!
A little tinplate fun!
And Happy Chanukah!
