Reflected Dolphin

Dolphin Resort, Crescent Lake, Walt Disney World

Normally I do not like having the Swan & Dolphin Resorts behind Crescent Lake and so close to Epcot. I think they interrupt the sight lines from various locations and detract from the visual settings so carefully crafted by the Imagineers. But on this particular evening I could not pass up the opportunity to capture this beautiful view. I will admit these hotels are a sight to behold, especially at night. I wish they were located in another area of the resort.

Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest, China Pavilion, Epcot

I’ve mentioned before how much I enjoy photographing around World Showcase in Epcot at night. One of my favorite areas is the China Pavilion. The architecture and colors really pull my attention to this pavilion at all times during the day. But as soon as the sun goes down and the lights come on I am drawn even more to capture images within this beautifully detailed area.

This image is another result of me goofing up. I am not entirely positive what I did but I obviously moved the camera during this six second exposure. What fascinates me about this image is the area of clear, undisturbed focus in the bottom third of the image. I love the fact there is an individual standing at the entrance contemplating entering. Especially this week, this image represents a search for that calming center as the chaos still churns around me. It doesn’t hurt that this building is a representation of a Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest…
