We're in Orlando for the annual hematology meeting. I took the pictures in the Morocco section of the Disney EPCOT Center. This is not anything that I would ordinarily take photos of, but as Cynthia and I walked through it, I thought the exhibit was so well done and so believable that I was struck by the whimsical idea of putting together a mock photo album of a place I'd never actually been to. So I took pictures of parts of it that didn't contain any obvious indication of its identity. I think it worked well. Certainly made me want to visit Morocco! Did you recognize the place in general, or was the Spaceship Earth behind the musician in the back of the band the giveaway? I smell a potential project here. Anyone else want to put up faux photo albums of a place they've never been? We can call it the LUG Fauxto Album Project.
