Gold Cast Upon the Castle

It's a classic view: the Disneyland Castle, looking elegant, photogenic, and stellar on a beautiful, blue sky day.  The front view is the classic frame, but unless it's first thing in the morning, that view is almost always crowded with guests looking to capture their own photo memories with the park icon.  As a result, shooting the castle from the sides, where only a railing and the castle's moat are in the foreground, is a great alternative to capture an image that focuses on the castle.  The castle faces south, so it looks great in almost all time of day.  This was intentional, as Walt Disney knew that this would become a photography focal point.  Most of Disney's castles around the world are oriented this way, but not all.  But the original, classic iteration still provides the most magically nostalgic presentation, especially on a golden afternoon!
