Last Storm
This tree, which was significantly smaller when I went to school here, has seen its last storm. The most recent November Gale put enough strain on the tree that it splintered. The storm put enough rain in my old neighbourhood that many basements flooded after the power went out. The puddle shown here was several inches deeper than the ditch that lies to the right of frame.
Technical note: This is a composite shot. To bring the tree much more into the foreground and move the houses back and out of competitive view, I used a spot B&W filter on the tree in one photo, and the same filter on the tree's reflection in another. I then combined the two photos, resulting in the image you see above.
