EPCOT entrance fountain dry today. A chance to see the minerals that have accumulated in the surface in a different way. Iron is the most common mineral, causing a rust-like appearance that matches the patina of other theming elements in World Celebration.

Aerial photo of the EPCOT Monorail line parallel to World Drive. There was a airstrip and STOL port at Walt Disney World. At center. If it was still available this is about the view you would see when curving to land in the runway.
