Then And Now

I saw these two photos that I have taken, and I thought it would be nice to compare what things look like then, and now.

This is the view across the World Showcase lagoon at Spaceship Earth, as viewed from the "gate" at the Japan pavilion. The first photo is from Aug of 2003. You can tell it is an "old" photo because the wand is still on Spaceship Earth.

This is the same view, snapped recently (Sept 2012). So this is a period of almost 10 years in between the two photos.

Biggest difference, obviously, besides the missing wand is that the trees on the island have certainly grown bigger! Even the ones from across the pond, especially the palm trees, have grown taller. But other than those, one can't tell that much of a difference. The more things change, the more they remain the same, I suppose.
