About This Image:
This image was taken at the Smokemont church in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Smokemont is close to Cherokee. I loved the inside of this church and when I was there I thought about all the people that had sat on those pews for worship, weddings, and funerals. It was a hard picture to take. If you set the camera so that the walls and pews can be seen, then the light of the windows will be blown out. If you set the camera to see the light and trees outside the window the inside will be to dark. So to create this image - which is the way it looks to the human eye - I took 3 images at different exposures and use my computer software to put them together in a process called HDR - high dynamic range. What I like about this image is that you see the light shining into the church as well as the inside of the church. Paul told the Thessalonians that they were children of light, not just in the church but in the outside world as well. Scripture: I Thessalonians 5: 5, 8 For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness. But then since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.

Beautiful picture💖I can hear the sound of many footsteps on those floorboards and the way the wood creaks.
