Waiting for spring, Alstead, New Hampshire
Taken back in January of 2006, two months after the October 9, 2005 catastrophic flood in Alstead. Here's a Huffy Bicycle beside a shed, looking like it's not going to see any use until after the snow melts. We were returning from a camera club function near Lebanon, New Hampshire and decided to pass through Alstead to see how the town was recovering. Parts of the town were still a mess and we decided we would NOT photograph any of the damage caused by this deadly weather event. Seeing the destruction was enough.
This was taken with my old Kodak P850 point & shoot camera, a great little 5 MP camera having a 12x image stabilizing zoom lens. Any bad images I got with it were NOT the fault of the camera. Last week after going through some images taken with it years ago, I brought it "out of hibernation", charged up its battery and did some macro shooting in my back yard. It still functions 100% as new. Except for the white lettering around a function button having worn off, it looks new too. I like using my older cameras that are "sleeping" in the back of my cabinet. They're too good to just have sitting around taking up space.
