I was standing all the way at the front of the station in the frontmost loading bay for the Express beam, to the right of the booth.

I think it's just an odd visual perspective based on where I was standing relative to the straight stretch of the beam and the focal point being after the curve. What you see in the foreground is the resort beam after it splits out to enter the station. The combination of that, and the zoom to the Contemporary is creating a strange distortion. It might make more sense if you look at this one. I just turned a few degrees to the right for this but it might help the other one make more sense.

Ahh yes, seeing the second picture does help me process the first picture better. It's really neat how curvy that track looks in the first pic - almost like an optical illusion.

MKCP, I almost posted a pic of monorail going thru Epcot during Flower & Garden Fest, with a part of SSE in background, but I thought my Contemporary pic was better.:)

Don't mind my musings, your photo is fabulous. I wish I had some photos I could post on here. I was just saying the monorail goes with Spaceship Earth like ice cream goes with chocolate brownies. :)

Nice photo, speck76.

Finally, a contest I can enter! My pic isn't nearly as good as all the others, but I thought it was interesting anyway...plus, I had only had my camera for two months, and I was experimenting.

Monorails

All these other pictures are amazing! :sohappy:

Lots of great pictures have been posted the last couple weeks while I've been on vacation. Here's my monorial pic...nothing too exciting but was taken from the Contemporary...

Don't worry, I wasn't offended or being defensive - I kinda agree with you that it does seem that everyone needs these 2 obligatory shots.:animwink:

And BTW, Kevin - great shot! I love the "overhead" view of the monorail against Tomorrowland.

Heh, that was a year ago January on a freezing cold night where i just stood there and waited and waited and waited. Everytime i turned around, i missed the train go by me. I wish my flash then could recycle faster, because the end of the train woulda looked better.

Thanks all.
