Hurricane Sandy

303/366

I took a break from Flickr for a few days to recharge and catch up on real life for a bit (and also because I've been very busy at work). I've still been taking pictures, and will be posting them over the course of this week. Unless we lose power or internet tonight because of the storm, I'll dip into your streams tonight to catch up on what I've missed.

Even though living in Massachusetts we are pretty far north of the center of Hurricane Sandy, we are definitely feeling the effects today. The wind and rain are picking up, and the whole state is pretty much shut down. As I was not about to venture out to the ocean to get crashing wave pictures, I decided to try to capture the whipping winds of the storm another way. This shot (plus the one in comments) are ~1 sec exposures of some of the trees around Davis Square, blowing in the wind.

Hope everybody in the path of the storm is staying safe and dry today!
