Imagine walking down a flower lined pathway, across a little bridge over a tranquil pool of water. Can you see it? Do you smell the aroma of fresh-cut grass and flowers? Awesome now you’re here!
Welcome to the Canada area in Disney’s EPCOT Center. A place full of wonderful architecture and beauty that I can never spend enough time at. This scene greets visitors on their way to a premier dining destination known as Le Cellier Steakhouse. This quaint little cottage caught my eye so I decided to set up for a shot. I got down low so I could include the reflection in the water and get the Caladiums up close that were right in front of me. I felt like I was looking at a painting. Even though there were other people around I zoned out into the peacefulness of the moment.
Although I have not been to Canada yet, I am planning on visiting someday. I can imagine this is what it would look like from some of the pictures I’ve seen. They have a 360 degree theater with a film about different areas in Canada called O Canada! I’ve seen it a couple of times and it is very enjoyable.

I hope you enjoyed today’s post. Please consider leaving a comment as I always enjoy hearing from my visitors! 😀

Great color and composition. As far as I can tell, it looks like it was an overcast day so nice decision to not include any of the sky.

Thanks Mark! Yes it was very overcast so the skies weren’t really to my liking. Just a hint of gray sky behind the trees but I always prefer blue skies and puffy clouds! On the plus side the lighting was a little more even so I didn’t need to bracket for an HDR shot.

I can totally imagine it in my head and it is beautiful. I went to EPCOT 3 years ago with my in-laws. My son had a great time. We all had a great time. It’s like traveling the world only we don’t have to spend so much for airline tickets to visit the many different countries. Awesome post!
