Here's another shot of Wishes behind Cinderella's Castle. It's a little blown out but I still like it.

I can't remember the last time I rode this ride and I DIDN'T have my camera with me! This was my first time with the fisheye though. I love taking a picture of the view you see on Tower of Terror before you go plunging.

Touring the Vanderbilt Mansion was a highlight of my trip to Hyde Park yesterday. To look at this room, you'd think Frederick Vanderbilt lived a luxurious life. That he did, but our tour guide told us that Frederick had the most modest lifestyle of his siblings.

I've been wanting to visit Halcyon Hall, part of the former Bennett School for Girls, for a couple of years now after seeing photos of it on Flickr. I finally got to see it last night, and it was as spooky as it looks. It's such a shame that this once beautiful building is now falling apart. I've seen lots of photos of the interior, but seeing as it's private property and clearly in a bad state, I didn't feel it appropriate or safe to go in and explore. This photo was taken from behind a fence.
