The Disney Imagineers are masters -- taking a few simple elements such as light, water and sound and creating one of the most beautiful "attractions" -- the Innovention Fountains located in Innoventions Plaza in Epcot's Future World.
The elaborate display is based on a 180 x 120 foot oval. "Computer-controlled pumps send 30,000 gallons of water cascading down its tiered walls per minute." Over 108,000 gallons of water swirl throughout the fountain.
The magical fountains have been part of Epcot since opening day. In fact, as a symbolic gesture of international cooperation and understanding, representatives from 22 countries each poured a gallon of water from their homeland into the fountain.
The sunset this evening was pretty intense...I was trying to have a nice casual, shooting-free evening since I was with my best friend and Disney buddy...but I had to bring out the camera for this shot.
As we kept walking, the colors kept getting more and more intense. I snapped a shot here or there, but nothing worthwhile. Then it finally clicked in me....GET YOUR ASS TO SPACESHIP EARTH RIGHT THE HELL NOW. So I told my friend I'd meet her up there and RAN like I've never run at Epcot.
Out of breath, pain in my side, I finally got to SSE....a minute too late. I snapped a few, and they are alright, but my hesitation really cost me. Alas.
That's what I get for trying to get out of my photographers mentality for the evening! Haha
It's just as well, because I love how this one came out. The "rorschach test" feel is something i always strive for in these Epcot lagoon wide shots, but it doesn't ever work out in an interesting enough manner for me....til now!
