Weekly Photo Challenge: Defining Shots Away From Home
Well, I've always had a special place in my heart for Disneyland. So, a while ago I went with a friend and took some pictures. So, to me something that defines California (besides the beaches and Hollywood) is Disneyland. I couldn't decide on which picture to place here, so I'm putting up two.
This is Sleeping Beauty Castle all decked out for the 50th anniversary of the park. Each tower has a crown that represents a different disney princess (one of them even has two). I have a disney pin with a picture of the left most crown (pin collecting is a recent hobby of mine).
Matterhorn Mountain with a wonderful sky behind it. In a way you could say Disneyland has a bit of Hollywood in it as well. This man made mountain at times has climbers heading to the top.
And don't forget to go HERE to take a look at more pictures from the Weekly Photo Challenge Blog!

Beautiful pictures! Did you see lil Miss? She'll be walking soon... time flys...
i have a freind that is obsessed with disney. anything and everything disney is her life. i'm sure she'd love to see the one in california as she's gone to the park in florida at least every year.
i see the castles are very different from each other.
Ahhh...you've photographed more of my cherished amusement park scenes from childhood
. Lovely. They brought back so many memories.
(But hey, where's the Small World ride?
)

Hi Liz,
I enjoyed your photo's. Glad to see you visiting my site. I still appreciate you for having been the first person to welcome me on Xanga. Are you well?
Very cool! Disneyland is a great marker! love the castle pictures
have a great Monday-ryc: I hate balloons 
I was talking to Frances and ask her WHY didn't you just add some hot air balloon decor too 
I have a blister on my pointer finger from tying the darn things-and cutting and tying the ribbon on them-
Hi Liz,
I knew this would be the place for you, I remembered
...Glad to see you post on the challenge.
Did I tell you how happy I am that your back....
..Thanks for all your comments your a sweetie ...(hugs and kisses)
Cool pictures.
I've been to Disneyland only once and just for a day. You're right, though, it definitely is a defining feature of that state. Thanks for the submissions!
Wow, they really decked out the castle, didn't they. The Matterhorn looks just as I remember it----from the mid-60's!! They weren't climbing it back then, though!
wow, that castle is just beautiful! I bet it was even more awesome in person!
I have never been to Disneyworld, my in-laws took my daughter when she was 10, so at least she has gotten to experience it!
