I hadn't heard of her until now and cannot fathom the hogwash coming out of her mouth. While I was reading the articles about her I couldn't really believe she was saying what she was saying. In this day and age? Homosexuality more of a threat than terrorism? Does she have some kind of undisclosed drug habit? I mean, really. What other explanation could there be for such abhorrent behaviour?<br/><br/>When I come across sick, misguided people like her I thank God for you and your sunrises. They make me hold my breath and experience true gladness. They are what counts. Thank you. WTF is up with that Kern woman?

Must be tough getting anything done that doesn't involve staring out at such loveliness! Hang in there T.R.

Gorgeous sunrises! Must be tough getting anything done that doesn’t involve staring out at such loveliness!

It's very sad that some people refuse to be tolerant and accepting of their neighbors. <br/><br/>Also, I just finished watching the first season of the HBO series "Rome". It was fantastic! And it ended on that fateful event that occurred 2045-ish years ago today, actually. Do you happen to remember the year Caesar was assassinated?<br/><br/>Oh, and beautiful shots, TR!

I live in Colorado Springs, home to many similar <em>Christian</em> whack jobs. I try to understand (read: not loathe) them. They are truly motivated by fear -- of the scary god they've created, of their own dark hearts and base impulses, of anyone who is bright and free and able to think clearly, love deeply, live joyously.<br/><br/>Your photos show that you, my friend, know the heart of the Infinite.
