We were treated to a tour of the anatomy lab at Lincoln Memorial University, where the cadaver dissections take place.  The “no photography” rules were strictly enforced, but we  were allowed to take pictures in the model room, where plastic models of body parts are stored.  No cadavers were allowed to be viewed out of respect for the donors.

We hiked a trail at the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park and stopped by the Cumberland Falls for a color tour.  The falls and Cumberland River are so pretty, and Enzo enjoys running around the shoreline and exploring.  After visiting the falls, we headed south to Knoxville for some shopping and people watching.

We miss you already, Nicki!

The park and falls are truly beautiful, perfect for some High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography.  This is the process that uses computer software to combine several separate photos, typically three, taken at different exposure settings.  The result is a single photo with striking color and detail, much greater than what can be captured in a single picture.  This process is often used by professional photographers for nature shots.

Below is a sampling of the HDR images I created from today’s hike at the Cumberland Falls, truly a beautiful area.
