Thank you so much for your views, favs, and encouragement...
Along the road to Hetch Hetchy, snags still stand eleven years after the Rim Fire swept through Stanislaus National Forest and parts of Yosemite National Park.
2013 NOTE: I think this was the first time I tried to set up a photo using ordinary stuff that was lying around. It doesn't come off, but I remember taking this very soon after joining Flickr and being astounded by the quality of material on Explore. I was starting to dip my toe in the water.
From the latest batch of The Impossible Project's color batch.
I've just spent a great deal of time abroad to take film photos, so follow along. The rest of this series here: untidysouls.blogspot.com/2014/09/aftermath.html
On our hike this afternoon, we witnessed the aftermath of the very destructive May 2022 derecho.
A derecho is a widespread, long-lived, straight-line wind storm that is associated with a fast-moving group of severe thunderstorms known as a mesoscale convective system.
Derechos can cause hurricane-force winds, tornadoes, heavy rains, and flash floods. In many cases, convection-induced winds take on a bow echo (backward "C") form of squall line, often forming beneath an area of diverging upper tropospheric winds, and in a region of both rich low-level moisture and warm-air advection. Derechos move rapidly in the direction of movement of their associated storms, similar to an outflow boundary (gust front), except that the wind remains sustained for a greater period of time (often increasing in strength after onset), and may exceed hurricane-force. A derecho-producing convective system may remain active for many hours and, occasionally, over multiple days.
Didn't look like much would happen as I sat out the rain hoping for some light on the back of the storm, and then this
The rains from Saturday night flooded most of downtown. The Amtrak parking lot is usually empty of silt and rocks. Water must have been at least six inches deep in the foreground and the tracks - both UP and BNSF - were probably under a foot of water.

The landscape two months after 'the storm of the century' cleared down the forests across Poland.
Things are taken care of, roads are mostly clear and harvesters and loggers clear the forests slowly.

Kashubia, Lendy area.
After the closure of the former Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway network in March 1966, the next job was to start dismantling the line. Class 22 diesel hydraulic locos were regulars on this sad chore, their sad looking faces reflecting that. Here we in late summer 1966 at Combwich, the railway still looks open, but don’t be fooled, now the work starts removing anything of scrap value or possible reuse. Soon the rails will be gone, the buildings will be bulldozed. Within a few years it might be an industrial park, a featureless housing estate, or maybe a supermarket.

A sunny afternoon on the patio of a local eatery sometimes stretches into the evening when the company is genial.
Another view of the loaded autoracks. This shot shows the then current evolution in autorack end doors. The cars on the left and right have Thrall Radial End doors, which at the time were being retrofitted on many many autoracks as specifications became more standardized on how to enclose them. The Thrall Radial door became the standard for nearly two decades. The car in the center features early "RAVE" (Rack Anti Vandalism Enclosure) doors engineered by Portec and first appearing on cars in the early 1980s. No photographer listed, JL Sessa collection.
