Traveling Thursdays: Riverside & The Mission Inn, Pt. 2

Although it can be difficult, I love photographing Disneyland at night. The lights transform it into a completely different place that seems magical. The Mission Inn is no different. I found myself prowling around at night into every area of the hotel, attempting to capture the cool glow that the evening lighting provided.

The rotunda is also an amazing place to shoot, night or day:











Shooting down onto the Spanish Patio made me think of Cary Grant in "To Catch A Thief":
