The Castle

Took a nice little shot of the Castle when the park was very quiet no one around. It's almost a spooky look, normally the castle is bursting in sun light, but remember a lot of spooky things goes on in European Castles beware. Well we are starting to get ready for our next trip to Disney, it was due in September but got postponed for a few months until the end of January. Santa brought me a nice new wide angle lens for my newest camera so I'm looking forward to getting some great shots for you folks to put here on the blog. I'm probably not going to write a trip report this time as I want to concentrate on the photography but if you guys want to read our old reports from Disneyland, Walt Disney World and Disney Resort Paris there are links to the Kindle books to the right of this lovely photograph. Cheers Larry.

Frozen.

As it is so cold her in Texas this evening I thought I would cheer us up with the Frozen float in the Disney Parade at the Magic Kingdom, and also her is my house in the cold snow.

Lets go fly a kite.

Tigger and Piglet having fun flying kites in the 3 o'clock parade at the Magic Kingdom.

Samurai Horseman

I took this photograph 11 years ago. It's funny but I don't remember taking it at all. And it's so striking you would think that it's something you would remember. It's obviously taken in Japan in Epcot. I must be getting old.

This is the small carousel at Downtown Disney.

For some reason I seem to like this small carousel more than the big one at the Magic Kingdom, working on the photo as put me in the Christmas Spirit. I always liked the German Christmas Fairs that they have in Europe and this reminds me of them.

Osborne Lights at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

Sadly this year is the last year for the Osborne Lights at Disney's Hollywood Studios. If you get a chance to go and see them before the end of the year you should. It's a great show and it will put you in a very Christmas'y mood. The are is part of the new Star Wars redevelopment. It's just a shame they can't find another area to put them in. I'll post a few photos of the lights as we get nearer Christmas. We never did get our September Trip due to un-forseen circumstances, so we have re-booked for the end of January/early Feb. So not too long to go now. Then I can take a whole new bunch of photographs for this blog. Cheers Larry.

Ways to get around Disney World.

I thought I would do a little series about ways to travel around Walt Disney World. Today, let the train take the strain as you parambulate around the Magic Kingdom.

Rock and Rolling at G Force Records.

I remember how excited how I was when Rock n Roller Coaster opened. I remember queuing for hours once when it was down, to ride the front car on the first ride of the day, but sadly it was not to be as it didn't open until really late that day and by then I had wandered off. Sadly as I get older I find the over shoulder harness coasters a bit much so I won't ride them 10 times in a row like I used to, but I always like to have one blast on RnRC in the front row each trip.

It's THE CLAW.

They're green but they're not mean. My favorite Disney Characters of all time.

Down by the River.

Here are a few photos that I like, that were taken when I took a walk between Big Thunder and the Haunted Mansion with the river as the focus. Sometimes it's just nice to take a break from the attractions and soak up all the detail and atmosphere. As I get older the proportion of doing this just seems to be growing!!
