HDR testing

This is my first attempt at creating high dynamic range (HDR) photos.

A Confederate Cemetery in Fredericksburg.

A second HDR attempt went slightly askew because the wind blew the limbs and created a sort of 3D effect.

Sunshine's breaking through clouds.

An angel's somber gesture.

Define LOVE

Love can be expressed through action, the gestures of care and respect for another. Yet inaction can be a more powerful gesture of true love.
Divine love does not seek to control. Pure intentions do not give way to judgement or disrespect for another's need to walk their own road in life.
True love doesn't fall victim to the burden of judgment because love forgives unconditionally.
How does one fall in love?
What is the chemical reaction that causes a lover to admit that his romantic feelings for her have reached an intensity that he recognizes as "love"?
Where does this chemical process occur and is it caused by a chemical at all?
Can love be defined by the scientist in a lab where lust and complimentary personalities are condenced into their respective liquid and gas compounds, then blended carefully in a beaker that will glow with the combusting energy produced by this phermone-induced explosion?

Commute - Nov. 19, 2008

Hush, my child, you have control of your world
Those tiny, fleshy fingers of yours have got it

That oil-squirting teet of lurching nightmares and lead
Is your mind playing tricks

It's the eleventh month
And this clean air is my promise

Your ancestors fueled their dreams
by the gallon,
But, baby, they saw mammals dying by the dozens,
then the wiser of our race outlawed oil decades ago.

Now hmmmmm
Let this electric motor lul
hmmmm
mmm
