Nice shot!! ; Grew some Ghost Peppers this year at home which was the hottest pepper in the world until recently when the Bhut Jolokia took over the number one spot. ; Had made some salsa with the Ghost pepper not knowing how hot it was, found they at Lowe's!! ; Certainly lived up to it's reputation. ; Can't wait to try the Bhut.
 
Nov. 17, 2012 marks the 30th anniversary of my first visit to Epcot. ; Over the last year or two I've been trying to duplicate a few of the shots from that day; I've posted many of them here or on Flickr. ; Here's my latest set, showing the UK pavilion in World Showcase.

1982


Magnificent desolation

2012


World Showcase west

The most obvious difference, as with most of these Then & Now shots, is the size of the trees. ; Now it's impossible to see most of the UK buildings other than the Rose & Crown. ; Of course, in 1982 the International Gateway and the Crescent Lake resort area did not exist, so there was no bridge betweek the UK and France.

So was it just a walkway between UK and France at that time? ; And if you are listing differences then and now, the clouds look different too.

...and the Off Kilter stage and Millenium Village hadn't been built, and I think it's a different boat...
 
Dennis, I love your shots of Epcot from 1982. ; I only visited once in the first 15 years and that was in 1988. ; I remember very little from that. ; It was not until the late 90's that I started to need to be there very often!

I think it was Jeff (Polynesian) that posted some shots of the Gardens in Canada back in the spring that inspired me to try some simliar stuff.

Looking at the photo, I dont think I ever seen that name spelled that way. ; Was she a trapeze artist at heart?

Can't wait for pretzel sticks and cheddar cheese soup! ; Oh, and I hear the steak is pretty good too!

The pretzel bread and cheese soup is the BEST! ; I make the soup at home all the time. ; We've got a local grocer that makes pretzel breadsticks daily. ; LC or bust!
