Beautiful shot. Is the tall structure a bell tower? It's very pretty.

Looks like a church tower. I love the design of the buildings.

Incredible. It's really quite well done but I'm nonplussed by this need to re-create Europe's highlights.

CQ - I'm not sure it's a "need," but a desire to provide people a taste of what other countries have to offer...it's called the World Showcase and encircles the lake. Many countries are missing, of course, which makes me think this was an "invitational" deal that cost a great deal of money.

Each "country" is superbly done, and very realistic, and the food and other products are quite authentic.

It's Disney, though, and you can never rid yourself of that surreal feeling...

But it's still a heck of a lot of fun.

Jacob, do you know the 'Campanile' collapsed in 1902? So, the one in Venice is also a copy... :-)))

JM - No, I didn't know that...there's just way too much I don't know...like so many Americans, I've been horribly isolated...

Thanks for the info!

That's amazing! You could have posted it as being in Italy and I wouldn't have know the difference.
