The ever-sinking ship

We've posted evening/night photos of the ever-sinking ship previously. This is what it looks like mid-morning. It will probably never really sink. Remember, this is Disneyland for adults!

VP said...: Love the first image with the perfectly specular eflection. Is it really possible they did it on purpose?; August 29, 2009 at 4:20 AM
Robert said...: Beaucoup de charme ce bateau. C'est incroyable comme vos obtenez des photos très nettes. Est ce la lumiére naturel ou un réglage de votre appareil photo.; August 29, 2009 at 4:33 AM

Leif Hagen said...: I still think you and Lois should jump in your canoe and go bail them out!; August 29, 2009 at 8:51 AM
Lowell said...: @ Safe Leif - You're right. We should do that. And we would except our canoe sank!; August 29, 2009 at 9:20 AM
Lowell said...: @ VP - Yes, of course. That's what they do! It's very effective, though...right?; August 29, 2009 at 9:57 AM
EG CameraGirl said...: It makes such an unusual reflection being half sunk. Disneyland for adults? Haha! I thought that was East Gwillimbury. ;-); August 29, 2009 at 11:32 AM
Unknown said...: What an amazing catch! The reflection is so perfect!!!; August 29, 2009 at 12:05 PM
Lowell said...: @ Asta - It gives the place a certain panache, or "authenticity." Disneyland for adults!; August 29, 2009 at 1:48 PM
Lowell said...: @ Robert - You're seeing the natural light. I made a big mistake here, and had the camera set to "flash" white balance, so actually I had to darken the photos a bit to get the correct exposure.; August 29, 2009 at 2:01 PM
Ashley said...: The reflection is absolutely amazing! Both images are beautiful!; August 30, 2009 at 3:37 PM

Daryl said...: I'll bite, so why is this boat 'sinking'?; September 1, 2009 at 11:00 AM
Lowell said...: @ Daryl - Because those who run The Villages want it that way! :-); September 1, 2009 at 11:53 AM
