A Paradise Sun

Today's post digs deep into my archives to eight years ago, when a winter sunset provided a bit of a dramatic sky to cap off a lovely view over Paradise Bay. This was before the Pixar Pier renovation, and it offers what is now a piece of original Disney California Adventure--an iteration of the park that wasn't as focused on IP's as it is now and still retained the intent of celebrating the state.  Though the bones of these elements remain today, they've been converted to more Pixar-centric themes, which makes sense from a popularity standpoint but carries some bittersweet residue for us nostalgia chasers.
