HDR is "High Dynamic Range" Nick. basically its a method of either taking 4-5 pictures on a tripod of the same scene, but at different f-stops, and then layering them together to increase the amount of the photo that is exposed properly (so you could have gotten both the grass and the sky exposed properly together, rather than just one or the other as you would have found with a single image), or taking one photo like yours and running it through specialist hdr software.
HDR does create some weird effects through its process though, and its not for everyone, but some like it (I do as long as its not too overdone).
See here (linky) to see what I mean.
