Week 4: Tomorrowland and Timelessness

When I think about Disneyland in terms of lighting, I usually imagine the park at night, with its spectacular light shows, warm streetlamps lining Main Street, and the castle all covered in twinkling lights of every color depending on the season. However, riding the train around the park allows for an entirely new perspective on the park that never sleeps. Disneyland, a place I consider innovative and man-made, also has a naturalistic side that I often overlook. Like any place on earth, Tomorrowland absolutely glows in the orange light of the setting sun. Its futuristic skyline is overwhelmed and overtaken by the sun's warmth. Only moments before the sun peeked out from behind the trees, the landscape was a cool, sharp blue, but in that moment the sun appeared, Tomorrowland welcomed the pinks, reds, and oranges of a timeless sunset.
