Located beneath the castle at Disneyland Paris in France, La Tanière du Dragon (the Dragon's Lair) is a walk through attraction that features an animatronic dragon that awakes and puffs smoke at passersby. This unique dragon addition is one of the main elements that sets the castle at Disneyland Paris apart from all of the other parks.
Unlike the other Disney theme parks around the world, you won't a find a Tomorrowland at Disneyland Paris in France. Instead, the park utilized European influences like Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, and Leonardo da Vinci to create a retro / steampunk land of the future.
This design choice actually proved to be an ingenious idea in that it both localized the theme at Disneyland Paris, while also creating a land that would require far less updates than other Tomorrowlands as this one had a theme rooted in a more specific time and era.
It's been a busy week of new shoots, experiences, and mapping out potential travel photography hotspots around Winnipeg, Manitoba. Of course, with this being another one of my lengthy road trips, there was also time for a lot of random roadside pitstops, backroad adventures, and even a few unplanned Saskatchewan detours on the way back home.
This Winnipeg, Manitoba experience was delayed from plans that I had originally organized for last year, so it was great to finally make up for some lost time. As I've been expanding my Canada series over the last few years, I really wanted to get back to Manitoba as I hadn't formally documented anything on previous visits. This meant the itinerary was especially ambitious and I went out of my way to capture thousands of images for a variety of potential projects.
As is always the case, I released a handful of previews and glimpses from experiences over this past week to share what was going on, however the release of this content and the final photo essays will continue over the months ahead.
The beautiful autumn scenery really made this an ideal time for a Manitoba getaway. I had so much fun exploring the centre of the country and I can't wait to share more with you soon.
