Thankful Thursday...
'Tis the calm before the storm. Having survived the swirling, ebbing and flowing tides in the mass sea of humanity at Universal, it is off to see Flipper and Friends as I trek onward to Sea World.
Yesterday, I said good bye to the colorful, surrealistic colors of Tune World, Dr. Suess, Jurassic Park, the Marvel Comic Characters and of course Harry Potter, Hogwarts, and Hogsmeade.
It will take some time to sort through all the pictures, as I took many on the fly. And like so many "tourist type" shots, they suc but then, what the heck. I'm on Holiday and I can do what tourists do. Point, click, next...
The park took on a different feel during the evening hours, as the harsh sun faded, temps dropped, and the more subdued colors were placed on the pallet. Add in the glow of incandescent lighting, and objects and scenes took on a whole new meaning. While bright sun has its points, I still prefer, the softer pallet created by the pure morning/evening light. While not your "typical tourist type" photo of Hogwarts, I'm not your typical tourist either...
Michael, Do you charge extra to inspect castles, and what do you typically fine wrong with them?
Michael, your wit makes you not typical to begin with. So, not being the typical tourist is expected! Enjoy the day and the rest of your vacation!!
Michael, There are surprisingly few people in this photo. A rare event down there.
Awesome photgraph of Hogwarts Michael! Thank you for sharing some of your vacation with us and allowing us to journey with you!
Good morning Michael- I can just about bet you are having a great time and ARE NOT the typical tourist! Have fun!!
Sounds like you are enjoying yourself, and why not? You are on holiday, right?
I see you're up early before anyone else with you on your vacation. You just can't stay away from the Rain can you?!!
Enjoy Flipper and Friends today my friend!
Good Morning Michael: We know you are enjoying yourself with camera in hand with thoughts of your friends here on AR hard at work. Off for my morning inspection. Have fun and stay safe.
Hi Michael~ I love theme parks at night! The mood changes when all the colored lights appear...Thank you for the mini vacation. Your writing style is always a pleasure and makes me feel like I am part of the experience!
