After The Flood Comes The Cleanup....
We've started cleaning some of the mess up. I have a huge pile of debris behind my house as do two of my neighbors. The rest of it will just have to stay there, I guess, since there's nobody to pick it up and burn it. No fun in this 100+ heat.

  That's quite a bit of driftwood washed up on the shore. You almost don't notice it though because the sky just draws your eyes away. Wonderful capture.

  It's gorgeous, though Carolyn. And the wood will still be there come winter. There are huge piles of this stuff shoved against the piers of a large bridge over the Delaware River, in Yardley. And further downstream, below the big levee in Morrisville, it piles up on the lower banks. Last winter I watched some able-bodied guys slither down the side of the levee and then somehow climb back up (I couldn't do it EMPTY-handed) with their arms laden with stacks of drift wood. Believe me, there WILL be scavengers!

Oh Yes, this is just a beautiful capture, making the debris look ever so attractive!

  The part you see in this shot will most likely be there until the water gets high enough to wash it into someone's yard. This area is below about an 8 foot drop, so to get it off the corps land where you can burn it would be quite an undertaking. The people who live down on that end are about our age and probably won't be able to clean it up. Living on the water has its drawbacks and this is one of them.

  Beautiful Scene Good luck w/the driftwood.
It's those 100's in the Temp. area that I'd find most disturbing, thats HELL HOT !!!

Stay Cool
Jack

  Well this is beauty in the rough if I have ever seen it. I think this is absolutely gorgeous Carolyn and I agree with Courtenay it has a Rembrant feel to it.

  Come Oct have a winner roast Carolyn it should cool down by then. It is all dry wood so it should burn easy and hot. The sun rise or set is gorgeous none the less.

  Even though this is the result of a storm and causes cleanup grief, this is a gorgeous photo with spectacular colours. Well captured.

  You have really captured beauty within a disaster. I know the feeling of cleanup and how disastrous flooding can be. You do live in a gorgeous place.
