This is an apex shot from the Disney Balloon. Since I've been shooting it from the outside all week, it's only fair to get a view from the top. Heading home tomorrow (sigh).
My token contribution to the landscape theme. Looks real, eh? This is part of the Old West scenery at EuroDisney, but true to life it felt just as serene. Can't believe how much I enjoyed our day there!
On a side note, all my images are creative commons attribution licensed. I know I watermarked this one but I don't exactly know what the rules are when it comes to posting Disney pics. Since Disney is second only to the music industry in suing their own fans, I'm going to slap a copyright notice on this one. I'm not claiming a copyright on it myself, of course, but hopefully this will shift any takedown notices away from my entry.
On that note, does anyone know the legal precedent on stuff like this? Can I 'own' - or more to the point, give away - this image if it came from inside a private park?

It is often asserted that knife attacks are more dangerous than an attack with a firearm ("knives are more lethal than guns"). While self-defense instructors often make a point of emphasizing that a knife attack may very easily result in death, there is no statistical evidence that knife attacks are more likely to result in death than an attack with a handgun. A 1968 study claimed that gun attacks are five times more lethal than knife attacks. This figure has since become a controversial point of dispute in gun politics. A review of several studies published in 1983 concluded that lethality of wounds from handguns is between 1.3 and 3 times higher than lethality of wounds from knives.
