I think that took place before New TL, and that there was another, later realignment to allow the parallel Peoplemover track beside the monorail. Not sure, tho.<br /><br />JG JGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456196709930408585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-60055489618485687222012-12-26T12:31:06.927-08:002012-12-26T12:31:06.927-08:00Nanook, those mermaids are posed just perfectly!

I don't think we get umbrellas in the central hub area anymore, do we? Probably blocks the views of the castle.<br /><br />Well, I can't step in, and if I could, I probably couldn't get back. So, back to work.<br /><br />Thanks Major.<br /><br />JGJGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456196709930408585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-56891415528049009222012-12-26T04:17:34.868-08:002012-12-26T04:17:34.868-08:00Not to sound like a broken record but number one i...Not to sound like a broken record but number one is perfect. Pale yellow, blue, red and orange buckets flying through a steel and concrete mountain. They don't know how lucky they are. <br /><br />And framed well enough to get the lagoon and the two sirens of the deep sunning themselves. This might be my new background screen. <br />Well done!Alonzo P Hawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10529651580262634489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-43209193458308371732012-12-26T03:37:19.545-08:002012-12-26T03:37:19.545-08:00Yup as Nanook says, there are even mermaids bathin...Yup as Nanook says, there are even mermaids bathing in the brilliant sunshine. :D <br /><br />They face in the direction they do because they are exhibitionists and they wish they could get over to those waterfalls for a nice shower with alpine fresh scent.Chiana_Chathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18329208224763179478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-61742004740302604962012-12-26T01:16:40.383-08:002012-12-26T01:16:40.383-08:00Looks quiet.
