As of 12/15/08, we're still a federal disaster area.

I remember this like it was yesterday. I live right outside of Worcester, MA and we got hit pretty hard by the storm. And the first time I looked outside, all I saw were the trees covered in ice and broken.

Very nice picture.

JoeBostonPhotography [2009-03-10 04:00:50 +0000 UTC]

I think this would have looked better as a vertical (trees out of the frame are a bit distracting), but other than that little nitpick, this is a fantastic shot. Great work.

FrodiusMaximus In reply to JoeBostonPhotography [2009-03-10 06:18:07 +0000 UTC]

Thanks.
I really wanted to capture the scope of the devastation, and would have been forced to narrow it down to one or (maybe) two trees with a vertical shot.
I do have a vertical version of the same one - it doesn't have quite the same effect. I'm not sure whether I even kept it, actually.
Again, thanks.

FrodiusMaximus In reply to FrodiusMaximus [2009-03-10 06:26:18 +0000 UTC]

Follow up: I do still have the vertical ones.
I can post them as scraps, if you'd like.
Let me know.
(I had to narrow it down to one tree or one and a half trees, and it doesn't seem to work as well, for me.)

Ah, incredibly eerie photgraph--HIGHLY provocative. And--it hurts the archaeologist's soul to see a graveyard ravaged >_<

Yeah, it was sad, though. I love that graveyard ... and it was really destroyed.

Can't reply to all the favorites though.
And I've never gotten a DD before, so it's kind of fun to see what everyone's saying!

LadyRiiko [2009-03-10 00:50:26 +0000 UTC]

Wow....
It reminds me of '98....
Actually, it also reminds me of last year when one of our windows was nearly smashed in by a falling tree branch.

I love the emotion to it, the stark way that it shows the merciless force of nature.

Snigom [2009-03-09 23:05:31 +0000 UTC]

The contrast is incredible. It's so much more haunting now that I know its a real photo under real circumstances!

I thought for a second it might have been a render..or even an Ultra-Violet shot.

Beautiful... just the perfect mixture of creepyness of the graveyards and the breathtaking scene of what nature can do!

Amazing...
