Description
The City of Orlando, once a small Central Florida town, seemed to change overnight. It started with Walt Disney's first flyover in 1963. During the last 40 years the town's footprint has increased five-fold. Located in the heart of the city a 43 acre park surrounds the ever popular Lake Eola.
One of the the park's sculptures, Douwe Blumberg's creation is called "Take Flight." The sculpture is said to "embody a spirit of freedom and transcendent joy." The background fountain is the centerpiece of the park, showing up daily on TV and frequently in print.
