Captured circa 1982, in beautiful Long Beach, California, adjacent to the RMS Queen Mary. These are five heavily postworked fotos, captured on film under very poor lighting conditions with my old Pentax-built Sears KS-2 SLR, within a huge dome structure specifically constructed to house this awesome behemoth. The Spruce Goose is not a red orange color, and just looks that way due to the sexy esoteric lighting provided. I have no idea why they chose to display it that way. Even with the dark milieu, you can still see the folks, dwarfed by the big guy, all lined up to go inside to take a peek at the vast interior. I also went inside, but for some reason didn't take any shots. Maybe it was prohibited, I don't remember from 30+ years ago. Infinitely better via ZOOM.
