Balloons & Corrals
by Breezanemom

Epcot

Yesterday morning, at about 0530, it was VERY cold out (38 degrees with a windchill making it feel like 27). This was in central Florida!
We had already signed up for our 6th Disney 5K race - the Family Fun Run - so we were there, headed for our corral (yes, like a group of cattle).
We were in corral E...which I believe stands for "Extremely slow". But at least we weren't in F corral, which could stand for "Freaking slow". ;)
On my way to our corral, I saw that all of the corral balloons were glowing, so I thought, why not stop and take a picture since I'm already cold and only going to get colder.
I liked the way the fences kind of lead you around and that you can see all of the balloons.
Had I thought about it, I would have reached for my Olympus TG3, but my brain doesn't work well at 0530 in the cold.

This turned out super with your cell phone. Exposure is surprisingly good. So are the details.
Plus your capture really shares the atmosphere of Disney's 5K race. I'm glad you took this photo and shared it with the group.

That's fun - and I think you did a super job, especially for that hour! LOL
