It was blindingly clear out today. I was thinking the same thing. If it is clear out this Saturday, I'll probably take a dSLR with a polarizer on it as well as a Leica with a red filter. Everything low to the ground is covered with black, shiny mud, and I'm concened about glare. Things above the ground have been rinsed off a bit by the rains since last September. You're right about it not changing. I saw two people in space suits stripping out a brick house. The rest of the area is a graveyard.

Thank you for braving the destruction. With that said, this image would be vastly more powerful with either a gorgeous blue sky and an ornage filter with a few puffy clouds to dramatise what has happened or with powerful differentiated storm clouds. None of this is going anywhere anytime soon; what will make the things you see and feel come through with more feeling to someone sitting in the comfort of central heat, electricity, and a good red wine at hand. Again, your images are powerful. Don don.dory@gmail.com On 1/24/06, Jeffery Smith <jsmith342@cox.net> wrote: > > This is not an attempt at humor.
