About the Column

Finding perfect Disney pictures isn't easy. The obvious places to look, such as Flickr, are awash in pictures posted by folks returning from a Disney trip. With patience, it's possible to find stunning shots, not always 'photographically flawless', but stunning for how the shooter has captured a slice of Disney, big or small, and captured it in such a way that you're inspired to do likewise the next time you're in a Disney park. Enjoy these shots of park perfection!

Perfect Monorail Orange

Every Disney picture tells a Disney story, don't it, and today our perfect picture comes from Ray Horwath, who takes one of the most familiar sights at Disney World - the monorail - and makes of it a stunning visual to draw a 'wow!' from even the jaded.

Park Perfect has become so popular that I've decided to feature a shot from a different photographer each day rather than devote an entire week to one photographer. You'll still see multiple shots from the same shooters, just not consecutively.

When at Disney World, you can't not see the monorail if you're in the general vicinity of the Magic Kingdom or Epcot.

Of course, the more you see it, the more it becomes a piece of the scenery.

But remember your first time? Maybe as a child, maybe as an adult, you looked up and there it was: magic! You gawked. You know you did.

Then the next day, or the next trip, the monorail had lost much of its magic, and it was worth not a gawk but a pointed finger: "oh, look, there's the monorail, guess we're here."

Prepare to gawk again!

I've seen the monorail more than most, both for real and in pictures, but this shot by Ray Horwath reminded me both of its magic and its majesty.

In this case, it's the orange monorail, bound for the Contemporary, with Space Mountain visible in the distance.

Go ahead, have a look.

And if you have small children with you, please take them by the hand.
