A photo of the aftermath of the forest fire that evacuated us from our home for two weeks. It left a bleak landscape but it is 'greening up' quite nicely now although it will take many years before evidence of the fire is gone.
A few other photos from the same and other fires in the area are included in the first comment box.
Urquhart Castle overlooking Loch Ness on a cloudy afternoon. Multiple exposures to reduce the number of people in the scene.
From Wikipedia:
Urquhart Castle (Scottish Gaelic: Caisteal na Sròine) sits beside Loch Ness in the Highlands of Scotland. The castle is on the A82 road, 21 kilometres (13 mi) south-west of Inverness and 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) east of the village of Drumnadrochit.
The present ruins date from the 13th to the 16th centuries, though built on the site of an early medieval fortification. Founded in the 13th century, Urquhart played a role in the Wars of Scottish Independence in the 14th century. It was subsequently held as a royal castle, and was raided on several occasions by the MacDonald Earls of Ross. The castle was granted to the Clan Grant in 1509, though conflict with the MacDonalds continued. Despite a series of further raids the castle was strengthened, only to be largely abandoned by the middle of the 17th century. Urquhart was partially destroyed in 1692 to prevent its use by Jacobite forces, and subsequently decayed. In the 20th century it was placed in state care and opened to the public: it is now one of the most-visited castles in Scotland.

Two hours later:
A deadly missle barrage by PIKR troops have brought all advances by the KRF to a near halt. With over 9000 casualties the KRF, and most of the city, is reeling, but maintaining morale and order. While aid stations are set up throughout Ulaanbataar, small B&C teams have been dispatched to secure and capture blocks, maintaining their stranglehold on the city.

Never a dull moment, even when the Pie is passed out.
The girls had a huge catnip party. I found Magpie just as you see her here. Shameless.
This is not a river or a creek. It is usually just a dry ditch, but with the storms and tornadoes of last night, rain water dashed down the ditches, down our hills and inundated everything. Water washed across the road down here at the river. AND, it softened the ground for trees at risk in high winds, that were precariously perched about power lines, and . . . more on that later. This is just one end of our road, which was impassable both ways. We were without power and phonelines/signal for about 18 hours. We had thought it might be longer, given what we saw! So kudos and applause for Athens Utilities, who cleared roads and got power lines back up and working the next morning!
New limited edition digital print. Based on one of my canvases from my show at the Contact Theatre. But with more rubble.
A quiet moment in the aftermath.

Wedding on a pier. Major unstable air mass with embedded Cumulonimbus cells passed through just before the service and all scurried off to shelter just after.

How sharp is that wide open?
In my 11th winter in this region, it was the biggest single-day storm that I have seen. Most of what you see in these two photos (see the other in Comments) fell in one day; there really wasn't a big buildup before. I have seen more snow but not falling in one day.
Most everybody was ready to roll by morning of the day after, but some, like this guy, were still digging out. You can see the extent of the snowfall beyond him by the car.

When blowing out the candles after breakfast I noticed my camera lying 20 cm away.
Check out all my photos through the excellent Flickriver!
The morning after.
I unwisely decided to test my 'new' used camera with a roll from a batch of untested expired film...

Always a pleasure stopping by MCS. These days its a bit more "clean", but I miss the days of decay here.
The aftermath of a collision with a vehicle on an unprotected level crossing, near Çaycuma. The passenger train was double-headed by two “Middle East” 2-8-2s both running tender first.
A portfolio of six (6) images (Image: 11-1/4 x 26-3/8 inches; Overall: 13" x 30") printed in Epson UltraChrome ink on smooth natural finish rag paper. Available only as a collection of six (6) unmounted, signed and dated prints for $900.
On August 4, 2015 a great storm with winds measured over 100 mph devastated portions of the forest of Leelanau, Michigan near Traverse City, with trees bringing down power lines and closing roads around Glen Arbor. Some of those forests will never fully recover. The piece of Birch log in this set of pictures was chain-sawed by workers out of a tangled heap of trees felled by the storm to clear a popular bike path.
In placing this artifact of the Aftermath of the Leelanau storm in juxtaposition with the Aftermath of Detroit's own slow economic and cultural storm, I hope to set up visual and conceptual tensions at various levels, aesthetic, philosophical, cultural, and ethical, among other possibilities.
I hope this set of images will stimulate and provoke reflection on Disaster and Aftermath, our responses to these, and humanity's place in Nature.

My daily drive takes me right through the destruction of the April tornadoes here in Limestone County. As many times as I have seen it now the fury of it all still overwhelms me.
Lightning had a follow up vet appointment scheduled for tomorrow morning. Obviously that's not going to happen.
I have an intense craving for fresh broccoli. Pretty sure it will go unsatisfied for the next few days.
Things could be a whole lot worse though.
A quartet of GE products from both BNSF and NS lead BNSF train G-STLELP6-22A through Lebanon Missouri. This 4,091 foot, 13,442 ton, 95 car train of loaded corn syrup is seen passing the buildings of Noble Hudson & Sons, the town's Purina feed distributor.
The building on the far right had a roof on it until the afternoon of May 4, 2020. That afternoon a storm bringing 90mph winds, small to medium sized hail, and torrential rain slammed into town uprooting countless trees, snapping over 150 telephone poles, knocked out power to much of the town, and causing lots of damage to various buildings in town, including ripping off half of the roof of one of the buildings in the Noble Hudson & Sons feed complex. The dumpster on the left of the frame is all that's left of the pile of debris that the roof was put into when the clean up began after the storm.
I shot a similar photo with the roof still on about a week or so before the storm seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/100655852@N03/49823309233/in/datepo...
