Hotel or Disney Theme Park?

Image by Express Monorail
I attempted to do a little research and try to find out a little about this set piece on the Streets Of America in Disney's Hollywood Studios. I didn't find much on it at all, which, given the loads of information out there on all things Walt Disney World, was a little surprising. I'll admit that I don't know a lot about New York or this area of Disney's Hollywood Studios. I knew that the picture was taken in the “New York” portion of the area and I made the assumption that it was a hotel.

So I “Googled” famous New York City hotels. I came across this one called “Plaza Hotel”. It is an historic hotel built in 1907 and located at the corner of 5th Avenue and 59th Street in Manhattan, and is operated by Fairmont. While the Disney Imagineers obviously didn't follow the design of The Plaza to the “T”, there are enough design elements present that tell me is was certainly the main, if not only, influence. The most obvious elements to me are the diagonal, checkered floor, the basic structure of the steps with red carpet in the middle, the ornamental design above the doors, and the circle lights on the face of the canopy. The picture I found (in the comments below) make me wonder if the circle lights at the Disney version light up like this. Like I said previously, there are some things definitely different, but it certainly has it's influences.

So there you go, next time you pass this “set piece” in the New York area of Streets of America you can know that it was designed after the historic Plaza Hotel.

Ground Zero Redux

Large, on Black

Again, the eyes of the World are focused on lower Manhattan. This shot gives a clear view down Wall Street (mouse over).

This photo was taken by femme_makita with my d300. It's not often we ride on helicopters to travel between Hopewell, NJ and Wallingford, CT, so it's quite unusual for both of us to travel within a two week period.

femme_makita had a very clear day to work with, had checked out the Wall Street sky scrapers on Google so she knew when to shoot, and had the Nikon 18-200mm at f8 to get a sharp result. I had set her up with aperture control, auto-iso (default 200), and a minimum 1/100 shutter speed to keep from getting a lot of blurry pictures - I think this worked well. I also think this photo is sharper than any of mine from the week before (see the Dark Coast set). If we ever get a chance to do this again, we may even bring some kind of shroud to limit reflections off the windows - this photo is free of them but many were not.

Giant ground sloths Megalocnus rodens and Megalonyx wheatleyi at the American Museum of Natural History

Image by Dallas Krentzel
Foreground: Megalocnus rodens (left) from the Pleistocene of Cuba and Megalonyx wheatleyi (right) from the Pleistocene of the central and eastern US.
Background: Scelidotherium cuvieri (left) and Glossotherium robustus (right) both from the Pleistocene of Argentina with Lestodon armatus behind it (you can see its ribcage), also from the Pleistocene of Argentina and a few surrounding nations.

In the The Hall of Primitive Mammals at the American Museum of Natural History in New York.

I like this exhibit. It demonstrates the huge diversity of giant ground sloths in the Pleistocene (2.58 mya to ~11,000 years ago), with highly divergent morphologies and life styles all across the New World. At the end of the Pleistocene however, humans invaded North and South America and everything changed. Suddenly, all ground sloths went extinct. Except of course, Megalocnus rodens of Cuba in the Caribbean, where they remained at least until around ~4,000 years ago. The first known human arrivals onto the island were around 5,000 years ago, long after the colonization of the mainland continents.

For some reason these specimens were mounted in the Hall of Primitive Mammals (probably due to a lack of space in the Hall of Advanced Mammals, but it might also be due to the fact that they're xenarthrans, long thought of as basal placentals, although modern molecular data has challenged this view), but this is deceiving. If it were not for the environmental havoc and subsequent mass extinction at the end of the last ice age that humans almost certainly exacerbated, all of these massive beasts would be considered highly advanced megaherbivores of the modern realm.
