That shot was taken as the Sun was setting and actually came out a little darker. I was able to lighten it up using Photoshop.

I dunno if it was the time of day or the fiddling, but I really like the first version because the background is kind of grainy while the engine looks sharp and bright against it. :thumbup:

There are things I like about the second version, too, but the hub and spokes in the wheels look a little too neon for me. :p: I guess they draw the eye in the first shot as well, but with the first one it ends up putting the focus on the engine as a whole, while the second one I'm just seeing the wheels. I'm really aware of color, though, so probably just me.

... The No Beber signs at the entrance are strange, but most guests won't notice 'em.

? :D: :D: :D:

Which speaking of are great, the taps actually had hot water, but apparently the toilets use dyed/treated brown water. The No Beber signs at the entrance are strange, but most guests won't notice 'em.

What? Why would they do that?

I think it is an excellent idea. Why waste potable water to flush toilets when non-potable water is available? Disney (and a lot of other places) have used reclaimed water for irrigation for many years and using it in toilets is the next logical step IMO. I've thought for some time Disney should use reclaimed water for toilets and I'm glad to see them doing so. Toilets are one of the biggest users of water and using reclaimed water will save a lot of potable water for better uses, like drinking and cooking.

If it's Brown, Flush it Down...
If it's Yellow, let it Mellow! :D:

Did you by any chance mean "gray water", 'cause brown water doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. Gray water is non-sewage water from activites like laundry and dishes. It makes sense to use that for tiolets. Black water is water with sewage. So far as I know, brown water is a maritime term referring to coastal waters around esturaies and so forth.

I'm assuming he meant reclaimed water though gray water makes sense as well. A hell of a lot of gray water is created daily in the MK alone what with all the dirty dishes in all the restaurants plus one of the big laundries on property is not far behind the park. One of the biggest issues with these is that to make use of the gray water from these sources would require massive re-plumbing of their drains. Not an easy task anywhere, especially in the MK what with all the asbestos used during the construction of the park.

Oh! When I read that, for some reason I pictured Disney dying the water brown or something. Nevermind...

[Epeyon]

Sorry, I meant reclaimed water. Which I assumed meant grey and truly reclaimed water. And if they're reclaiming the water that gets pumped into Bay Lake that's pretty brown...
