Spaceship Earth, Disney's EPCOT Photo

Photographer’s Note

The defining piece of architecture at the EPCOT Center at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, Spaceship Earth. Spaceship Earth, built in 1982, stands at the entrance of the theme park and encloses a park attraction. The exterior of the dome is comprised of 954 triangular panels made of polyethylene and aluminum. Amazingly, these panels actually absorb rain water into an internal gutter, which then funnels it into the EPCOT Lagoon. Spaceship Earth is 180 feet tall and weighs 16 million pounds.

Very nice photo, Matt. I like your POV, looking up and past the main subject. Shooting from the shadowed side adds to the overall scene. Good work....
