A somewhat spookier version of Cinderella's Castle in the Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World, Florida.

I was pretty lucky here in that I arrived just as they closed the walkway prior to the firework show. I was right at the front and could take this shot without anyone in the way. I deliberately processed this on to look a lot less cheerful than most of the Cinderella's Castle pictures and I rather like the ominous feel.

I posted this on my photoblog a few days ago but I like it too much to leave it off Flickr so here's the mono HDR version of my Chevron Tower picture from last weekend's trip down to Houston. This is a 3 exposure, handheld HDR merged in Photoshop and tone mapped in Photomatix.

The building was previously the headquarters of Enron but is now occupied by Chevron.

You really want to look at this large on black.
