POTD - Epcot

How many times have you passed by Innoventions wanting to go in, only to find it closed?


Sign of the times

 

There's a virtual parade of people and animals on this rooftop in China.

Smarter than the average bear? You decide. This was part of the Disney Nature sand sculpture at the 2014 Epcot Flower & Garden Festival. There was a high degree of whimsy in this one.


Say "Honey"

 

Epcot is always lovely after IllumiNations, and Morocco is among the most photogenic pavilions at night.

Do you hear a clicking sound?
Yeah, it's coming from that thing on your desk.
That's what I thought. Do you think it means anything?
Nah, it's probably just a problem with your internet connection.

The Epcot Ball

 

Lovely shot Craig - love all the detail in there - the sky helps paint that one in, and the fountains going off. Has a mild HDR look which works well here.

When your world is only a few inches high, you need specialized equipment to move even the smallest twig.

I am Buzz Lightyear. I come in peace.

 

Another topiary (or two). Is Goofy stalking Daisy or the butterfly on the flower she's holding? (Note the new Nikon picture spot sign.)


Watch out, Daisy!

 

The new 2014 Snow White topiary. Now with a face!


My eyes!

 

My second favorite feature of the Epcot Flower & Garden Festival is Tinker Bell's butterfly house. Here's a Julia butterfly snacking on a flower. (My favorite feature? The Flower Power Concert series.)
