Ripsaw Falls
Ripsaw Falls at Islands Of Adventure, Universal Studios Orlando. I have to admit that I’ve never been on the ride but I do love the whole Dudley DoRight and Rocky and Bullwinkle universe. I’ve still got a Wottsamotta U sweatshirt that I bought when Islands or Adventure first opened. There are so many layers to the humor. If you just give this view a passing glance you might not notice the Mount Rushmore reference in the background.
Not sure why Dudley had a mouth full of Dynamite. I’m guessing Snidley Whiplash has something to do with it.

Siegler Bros. at NIght
Digital photography give you so much dynamic range that is used mostly for bringing detail out of shadows and highlights. You can also go the other way where you close down the shadows and bring down the exposure and it’s like you went back to the exact same spot at night. I used a bit of dodging to light up the image. Image processed in Capture One 20.

Tiny’s Basement Restaurant
Hidden in the back of Universal Studio’s Orlando across the street from where the Blues Brothers play everyday is Tiny’s Basement Restaurant. And the place is tiny. Wouldn’t mind if this was a real place although getting reservations might be hard. One table for two is all it seems to have. Went to the Passholder’s Preview on Wednesday. Didn’t have any issues with distancing. It does slow down access to rides as they are not filling up each car. The cast members seemed to be very happy to be back to work.
