Sunset and Uniqlo at Disney Springs
Colorful Sunset
A colorful sunset sky above Uniqlo and the dinosaur fossil tail outside the T-Rex restaurant at Disney Springs in Walt Disney World.
On the last evening of our 2021 Florida Trip a few weeks ago, it rained. I really can’t complain much, because this was only the second rain shower we received during our whole week there. Most of the time, the weather was sunny. But on this day, it rained for an hour or two.
We were leaving the Contemporary Resort and going to Disney Springs when the rain started. We thought about just skipping Disney Springs and trying to get back to our car while staying as dry as possible, but we still had a few places we wanted to go, so we braved the rain and did not get too wet.
And then once the rain ended, the clouds parted just enough to let some sunlight through, which brought a lot of color to the sky. One photo does not do it justice, so you will probably see more photos in the future from that night.
And yes, Uniqlo is one of our regular stops at Disney Springs, so it is fitting that it is in this photo.
Secret Shopper
As with the Swan and Friendship photo recently, I decided to hide a small detail in this photo…
Mobius the Goat is shopping in the second floor of Uniqlo, checking out a t-shirt. He is quite small, and he is almost impossible to see in the normal screen-resolution photo, but he is there.
And in drawing this, it occurs to me that for as many times as we have shopped in Uniqlo, I never have gone over to the windows to check out the view of Disney Springs from the second floor. I will have to remember that for a future visit.
Maybe if I keep on adding Mobius to these photos, it could turn into something like Where’s Waldo!
Bible Verse
Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom. - James 3:13
About the Photo
You can’t necessarily tell because the whole scene is different, but this photo uses the same preset in Luminar AI as the Swan and Friendship photo. And as I mentioned in the write-up about that photo, that preset was also used in an earlier photo. It has become my go-to preset for the time being, although who knows how long that might last. But I think it works well here.
And once again, Mobius was added in Procreate after the photo was processed. I did color him much more yellow than usual to get him to look like he belongs inside the store, which had a yellow tint to it. The color scheme is not perfect, but he also does not immediately jump out at you when you look at the original photo. I like the subtle approach.
