Tomorrowland 1 by Sherry Ross  Image: As a kid, my favorite land at Disneyland was always Tomorrowland. What could beat Space Mountain in the heart of a nerdy middle school tween? For me, it was a gateway to a magical world of science fiction wonder. Tomorrowland had all the best rides and carried with it that funky late-sixties vision of the future.

As I grew older, the space-age future I once marveled at transformed into something else—a retro vision of what once was, dated yet still endlessly fun. When I finally had the chance to take my own kids, I loved being able to share not only the rides, but also the charm of that vintage, imagined future.

This image was created in-camera using a double-exposure lens. I love how the sleek architectural forms flow into one another, while the rich retro palette layers together to create a lush, complex image.
