A replica of the famous Liberty Bell was specially cast from the original mold for Walt Disney World and placed in Liberty Square in 1989. Surrounding the Liberty Bell are the flags of the original thirteen colonies. For more fascinating information, visit Jack Spence’s Liberty Square Odds & Ends article

During the day, it is hard to get photos of the Liberty Bell unless you get in close and low like Barrie (remember her?) did here: National Treasure: Liberty Bell.
Using a wide angle lens and tripod during Extra Magic Hours at the Magic Kingdom one night, I was able to photograph the Liberty Bell from various angles.

The wide angle lens allowed me to include the beautiful Hall of Presidents attraction in the background. The small aperture of f/16 created the starlight effects in the lights.

The Liberty Bell is a rather large and easy to find Liberty Square detail. Do you know of other details found in this Magic Kingdom Land?

I especially like the last picture, of the Liberty Bell with The Hall of Presidents in the background. That is just beautiful. Not even an ever-present Disney trash can in the shot.
I’m curious … on long exposures like these, is it possible that people walked through the picture but weren’t there long enough to leave an impression?
Scott replies: Thank you, that is my favorite of the trio as well.
You are correct, people might have walked through (I don’t recall) and not stopped long enough for the camera to pick up their presence.
