All-Time Best Mansion Photo?

.
Maybe one reason the Mansion has such an Internet following is that it's so photogenic.  Cameras are getting better all the time and easier to use, so good quality photos of the spooky interiors as well as nice shots of the handsome exteriors continue to pour into cyberspace.  Classic old photos are a big hit as well.

If I had to choose one pic as the best all-time Mansion photo, the one I'd put in the hands of someone who has never heard of the ride if I were cruelly restricted to a single photo, I would choose this well-known shot of the organist:

It's got just about everything.  It shows off the stunning Pepper's Ghost effect that makes what many consider the ride's climax, the ballroom scene.  It suggests the importance that music plays in the whole presentation.  It illustrates the blend of tradition and innovation in the Mansion:  ghostly organists are traditional figures, instantly recognizable, but the skulls wafting up out of the pipes—übercool those are, very original, and inspiring the "how do they do that?" reaction that is also a big thing with the Mansion.  This scene is also a meeting place of various talents that put the ride together, what with Yale's daring use of Pepper's on an unheard-of scale, the characterization of this particular organist (Marc Davis, take a bow), the floating skulls (Claude Coats, I'll betcha), and Rolly Crump's wicked pipe set.  Plus, it's an attractive photo in its own right.

Yeah, I'd say it's just about all in that one shot.
