Dranesville Tavern

Flare?

Fringing?

Dranesville Tavern by GHD PHOTOGRAPHY & DESIGN.

Dranesville Tavern was built in 1823. In 1865, the Alexandria Gazette described Dranesville Tavern as "one of the finest roadside inns in the State of Virginia." That tradition of excellence and hospitality continues today at this beautifully restored National Historic Landmark.

I frequent Smashing Magazine on a daily basis for inspiration and today I saw they had a post for "35 Fantastic HDR Pictures", so I clicked the link scrolled down and saw my picture, one of my first HDR's is second on the list.

Smashing Magazine, I heart you.

flyingbuddha says:

I think this is a stunning photo, very majestical. If I could be critical on one thing (but just to make the pic. look totally perfect for me) would be the blue lining on the right of the chimney, anyway you could doctor that out? Truely amazing work.
