An ultra cool photo

Epcot - Monday, May 24

When we were at Epcot during our vacation, the wind started blowing very hard and then it started pouring.  The streets back in World Showcase completely cleared as everyone ran for stores and restaurants or other shelter.  We were in the Italy Pavilion so we took cover in one of the stores in Italy.  As with many Florida showers/storms, it blew over after about 20 minutes, the sun came back out, and the park was full of people again (out in the open).  Kevin took this very cool picture out the front door of the store we were watching the storm from.  Spaceship Earth (the main icon of the park) is very faint in the distance because of the stormy skies and the "street" is completely empty.  I thought this was a great shot!

I decided to "grab" a couple more pictures to post here because they were also very beautiful and unique shots - I think anyway.  All the countries in the World Showcase part of Epcot are cool anyways because all the architecture and stuff is designed to be like those countries.  Disney even goes so far as to hire young people to come from the specific countries to work in the various shops and restaurants to make it more authentic.  (Some of the workers are already here in the U. S.  but are originally from the countries) 

The "stormy effect" of these pictures is so neat.  Believe it or not when you look closely you can see that none of these pictures were taken in black and white.  You can tell better in this last one because you can see the pink of the flowers but all of the others Kevin just took in color as well.
