Four years ago, November 2003, a small tornado passed through Germantown. Some townhomes about 1/4 mile east of us were damaged. A few days afterward, I noticed there were some newly fallen trees in the woods to the west of our house. So I took a walk out there to see it a bit closer. What I found was an alley had been carved through the woods. An alley that pointed directly at our house but stopped a couple hundred yards before reaching the edge of the trees. That tornado must have jumped right over us before touching down again on its way eastward.
I was shooting photos that I thought would prove a tornado had actually passed through. The damage to this tree shows that it was twisted apart, not just knocked down. The left side of the tree is sitting on the ground. The right half landed in the V.
As far as I know, neither the weather service investigators nor the local media discovered this stretch of damage because it was completely contained within the woods.
Again i took a long exposure not knowing what the outcome would be,slightly random,did i say slightly ha ha

Now the exhibition is fully under way I feel it's time to put up the other four of the 'Splintered thoughts' collection :D
Not too sure how much the youth of the present and future have experience with wooden toys. But when my mind flies back to fragmented memories of my earliest days I remember many happy moments playing with solid simple shapes of wood with painted designs of cars, dogs or just primary colours.
And when I'm thinking those thoughts I like to believe this is in someway how I appear to everyone around me.

Toronto, Canada ~ April 16, 2016.
I've passed this house on 222 about a thousand times, along with a handful of other barns and run down mom and pop shops. Because they're so out in the open, I've never really taken the initiative to capture these little roadside attractions. However, this past Sunday morning I woke rather early and gave it a go.
