Monorail Monday, Walt Disney World

Some of my monorail images are photos of luck. I happen to be in a particular location as the monorail is passing through. This image is one of those lucky images. I was on the bridge next to Test Track on my way toward the Odyssey when I heard a monorail approaching behind me. I had been admiring the flowers planted along the bank for the Flower & Garden Festival and quickly decided to go as wide as possible to include the vibrant colors. I also like the tree…
