Surviving The Storm
« on: January 17, 2012, 01:06:57 PM »
Our farming district was hit by a severe series of windstorms recently, causing much damage. Many homes, barns and assorted structures suffered. Fearing the worst, I went to one of my favourite locations, Reichenau Mission, expecting to see the 120 year old buildings in ruins. Fortunately they were built by master masons and withstood the onslaught. The only casualty was my favourite door which was blown off it's hinges.

Images captured with Rollei SL66 and 50mm Distagon on Fuji Acros. Developed in Pyrocat-HD.

Regards,

Lawrie.

fantastic as ever Lawrie. gorgeous little gems - the compositions are perfect, and the catechol tones make for really tasty texture and detail - a great mix of eye, skill and chemistry.

I wonder if there are more in the series? it would make a nice photo essay with some extra text too.

Thank you for the kind comments Leon. Perhaps a series is worth considering.......?

These are just great Lawrie and I'd love to see a series with a bit of text and your feelings about the "now and then" of the place.

The second and third photo are just wonderful!
 :)

Yes, more please!

The beginning of a wonderful series methinks... and yes it would be nice to have a bit more background detail... like where you're located?

Great work, Lawrie. I particularly like the third  one, it has a lot of depth to it.
