Broken Dreams
1/80s @ f/8.5, ISO 160, Nikkor 18-200 mm @ 26 mm. Taken inn Grenada. (C-A)
When Hurricane Ivan’s 120-mph winds blew through the island in 2004, most Grenadians had never experienced a major hurricane firsthand and, as a result, were taken completely by surprise. Overnight, countless houses in the countryside were destroyed; roofs on residences and business around the island and on hotels and resorts along the southwestern coast were severely damaged or completely torn away. Although the island is, to all appearances, mostly recovered, isolated pockets of devastation are still in evidence throughout the island.
