A permanent archive of @bioreconstruct’s aerial photos of construction around Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando — full-resolution originals, preserved daily. Every post links back to its source.
Current view of the former Wonders of Life pavilion. This view possible now due to the harsh 2-night freeze three weeks ago. Palm trees left and right in this photo are currently just sticks. Their lush green fronds died in the freeze.
Sequence of photos in EPCOT of a Green Heron juggling a stick until it was even weighted at middle between her beak. After the fourth photo she flew off to add the stick to her nest.
One of two freeze-damaged palms with a new frond emerging near Spaceship Earth. The unusual 2-night harsh freeze was 3 weeks ago.
A tradition in American construction is a topping off ceremony. When the last or the highest beam of new structure is raised and placed, with an American flag and a tree on that beam. Seen here is that last beam of the Encanto show building. With signatures too!
Kevin asking the photographer, "When does it open?"
It easy now to imagine the sight of green mountains as theming on top of the Encanto show building.

Seems like this Osprey is sitting on eggs now, She built this nest around a scare owl. On top of an I-4 facing billboard on Universal property at the Universal Blvd overpass.

Scaffolding up near former PizzeRizzo. For retheming to Monstropolis.
Seems like concrete is curing in these forms for Fast & Furious Hollywood Drift. Boards seem to be holding bolts in place. Bolts that likely will hold a track switch for launching and falling back down the 170 ft tall Spike.
Structure added recently in the Fast & Furious Hollywood Drift construction site near CityWalk.
