Ancient Ruins
High in the Himalayas, on the route to the Forbidden Mountain, one passes this group of structures that appear to be very old. Who built them? What was their purpose? Enquiring minds want to know.

In a scene reminiscent of the late 1800s, a couple waits for the latest mode of transportation on a lovely spring day. One somehow gets the feeling that they will soon be singing and dancing their way down Main Street. flic.kr/p/f7mrfe
Standin' on the corner...
...waitin' for the tram. A gaily-dressed couple waits along Main Street USA for a horse-drawn tram to come along. I have a feeling that they are about to start singing and dancing.

Snow-covered mountains are a rare sight in central Florida. Fortunately, Disney Imagineers decided to add some to Animal Kingdom. The big one in the middle is the Forbidden Mountain, home of the frozen Yeti. flic.kr/p/5Ek82V

The tall pointy mountain is the Forbidden Mountain. The bare, triangular rock on the right is Mount Everest; it looks smaller because it's off in the distance.
