yeah the cold winter is coming (then again, last season we had no snow and like 70 in january, absurd- we did have a huge blizzard in late October though that knocked out power for over a week, crazy, weather is getting more bizarre by the year)
Totally devastated. The loss of power and damage to house will return and get fixed despite the large cost but the scenes above, first shot and many of the rest just destroyed by this awful storm. The most horrific winds I have ever experienced. Almost two hundred year old trees killed. One of the most beautiful sports, if not the most, I've ever seen every fall, killed. Devastated. Loved that view. There was nothing like it in the fall. These shots only show a bit of it and not the full effect where the sugar maples stuck out some giant thirty foot long branches and layers forming the most perfect brilliant arc of layered upon layer of color. My favorite spot, no matter what else they developed or destroyed there was always this wonderful spot.
Skibum.. sorry to hear one of your favorite groves felt the wrath of the storm. Glad to hear all is well though. I am about to venture out today to survey the damage here on Long Island. I went out yesterday afternoon to the beach to feel the gales coming in from the north. I must say it was rather difficult to shoot, keeping the camera steady was a challenge, especially with the telephoto lens.
