Only In America


Captured yesterday as the wind was howling and the sky backlit, sometimes it all just comes in to place. Title based on the Brooks & Dunn song. Happy Easter everyone!
In camera HDR, Minolta 18-200 Lens, Lightroom & Paintshop Pro for output.

I hope you all like it!

Brooks and Dunn-Only In America (video here [link] )


Sun coming up over New York City
School bus driver in a traffic jam
Starin' at the faces in her rearview mirror
Looking at the promise of the Promised Land
One kid dreams of fame and fortune
One kid helps pay the rent
One could end up going to prison
One just might be president

Only in America
Dreaming in red, white and blue
Only in America
Where we dream as big as we want to
We all get a chance
Everybody gets to dance
Only in America

Sun going down on an La. freeway
Newlyweds in the back of a limousine
A welder's son and a banker's daughter
All they want is everything
She came out here to be an actress
He was the singer in a band
They just might go back to Oklahoma
And talk about the stars they could have been

Only in America
Where we dream in red, white and blue
Only in America
Where we dream as big as we want to
We all get a chance
Everybody gets to dance
Only in America

Yeah only in America
Where we dream in red, white and blue
Yeah we dream as big as we want to

America. We may not have as many people dreaming the dream anymore, and our economy is in shit shape, but at least in America, we will always at least be free. We will ALWAYS have that.

Oh, how I love American history.

And people, stop bitching about what happened years ago. You weren't even alive during that time, so you have no excuses.

This is from my Liberal point of view.

ummmm what the hell are you talking about? WW2? Ya we are so foolish, never mind the fact that the Japanese army enslaved millions. You attack our army, unprovokved, what the hell do you want to happen? Japan at the time got what they deserved. Yes we are so foolish that right now you are using a PC who's OS operates on American technology, writing on a website who is hosted in America, using the internet invested by America. Yeah, we are foolish all right. :| How old are you?
