The wind blows where it pleases. You cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going.
Another stitched-panoramic (comprising 5 separate, portrait frames, if I remember correctly) taken at the base of the tanks at the pumping station at George Bush Park in Houston, Texas.

Nothing that surrounds us is object, all is subject
Pumping station tanks containing...? at George Bush Park in Houston, Texas.
Another panoramic comprising 8 separate HDR frames, totaling around 60 megapixels.

Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one
George Bush park has a few wells on its grounds, not sure what they're pumping but they are still in use. Regardless, they looked cool.
This is the combination of 3 separate "portrait" HDR frames stitched together to create the "landscape" you see before you. This just about triples the pixels of my average "landscape" photo putting it at around 35 mega-pixels.
When I stitched it it didn't quite come together right there at the top of the dials box, it looks like its tearing apart. I though it looked cool so I left it alone.

When the sun has set, no candle can replace it
A field at George Bush Park in Houston, Texas, just before sunset. This photo is actually made up of of twenty photos combined. 4 sets of 5 frames at different exposures combined in the usual HDR fashion and then those images were stitched together to create the final panoramic, its around 30 megapixels total.
The federal government opened the Barker Reservoir in the 1940s, mainly for Buffalo Bayou flood control. The present area occupies about half of the original area.
Due to the ongoing Texas drought, on 9/13/2011, Houston Firefighters were dispatched to the park responding to a wildfire. The fire quickly grew and the firefighters were sent to the north levee near I-10 to wait for the fire to come to them and stop it there. At one point the fire was one mile wide, consuming 1,500-acres of the park, with the cause under investigation.
