Abstracts are not my strong point when it comes to photography. I am more along the lines of a photojournalist so this week’s Disney Pic of the Week theme on Abstracts was a tough one. I wanted to make sure if you were a fan of the parks you would recognize it being from Walt Disney World. As I was walking under Spaceship Earth one evening, I looked up and there it was. Beautiful lighting transforming the daytime silver panels to a golden glow. The walk was close enough where I didn’t need to zoom in allowing the widest aperture the lens had. I braced myself against the short fencing and got my abstract. Hope Barrie is proud of me!

  1. I did frame it! 🙂

    Actually, I had an idea to use this one with the silver version and put them side by side in a frame.

    Hey, like these comments and being able to move from entry to entery, too.

  2. I don’t know about Barrie but I think this is beautiful! I instantly recognized it as being Spaceship Earth, but before reading your comments couldn’t determine how you must have gotten the shot. I love it!!
