ORLANDO II
Windows Live Local somewhat recently added more coverage of Orlando, so in addition to the pics I got for the first thread in this series, I decided to add these as well.
Most of these are in the southern parts of Orlando (though not all). The Orlando stuff I used in the original thread were largely in the north and east parts.
These are much higher quality pics than the first round, anyway.
I've also included some pics of theme parks and resorts in the area.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some resort, I think it was part of Disney World??? Not sure.
EPCOT Center
Big hotel near Disney World
The Magic Kingdom
You can tell there's a huge business there of catering to tourist shoppers. There seemed to be far more malls in proportion to the local population than any other place I've seen.
Sea World
Universal Studios
Another mall
A HUGE mall. I'll just thumbnail it.
Lowes and Wal-Mart
Still another mall
Blue!
Convention Center. Unfortunately this was far from downtown. But given the immense size of it, maybe they couldn't find enough room for it downtown???
Yummy.
Older stuff. Tons of this in the inner parts of Orlando
Some generic hotels.
Airport
There's more than just the tourist industry in Orlando. Some light industry.
Apartments
Close-up of more apartments
And yet another mall
Some older, inner-city stuff.
More older stuff
Now back to some new stuff
Some resort hotel thingy
Moonscape!
Looked like some sort of government office or something like that, kinda far away from much of anything else.
The ultimate in curvy streets!
Nice condos or apartments
Some other theme park. Not sure which one.
Another mega resort hotel
This, and the next few, are aerials of "Celebration," a neotraditional planned community Disney has been building. I can't stand the name, but it looks pretty decent for neotraditional design.
More Celebration
Celebration continued. I suppose this isn't sprawl, but I included them just for the heck of it.
Another Celebration
Compare Celebration with some nearby conventional development
Gotta include a trailer home park
Yet another resort
New golf course community
Hmmm . . .
So bad, it's good!
Another hmmm . . .
A new development that had some neotraditional-esque features
UFO's
