Mind your speed as you go, sheriff’s old, but he’s not slow. Not words to live by when you’re on Radiator Springs Racers! I head out to the canyon overlook while waiting for Route 66 to clear out- this area is generally dead all day- especially after park close in the rain!

California Screamin’ is one of the longest looping roller coaster in the world. This roller coaster is fantastic and continues to be very popular at Disney California Adventure. The Imagineers did an exceptional job of threading the ride’s track throughout the Paradise Pier area. I took this shot while waiting to board the Silly Symphony […]

Like a full moon, Grizzly Peak rises over Disney California Adventure’s Grizzly River Run just after sunset. The folks at Disney tell us a huge grizzly bear named “Oo-soo’-ma-te” was transformed by the coyote “A-ha-le” into a stone sentinel protecting the mountain. The huge bear’s spirit reportedly can be heard roaring by those adventurous folks who explore […]

Cars Land is a challenging place for me to photograph at night. (It’s the neon!) But who doesn’t love a photo challenge, right? It’s opportunities like this that really show me what the camera is capable of. I was able to pull back the highlights, bring up the shadows and still get the colors and […]
