After The Flood Comes The Cleanup.... [Contest Finalists July 2011]
Uploaded: July 06, 2011 02:29:49
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.
Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/25 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 160, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 21.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XS

wow!!! outstanding, stunning Carolyn #1390777Gregory R. Gaskin July 06, 2011
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. #9510066Gord MacEachern July 06, 2011
Hi neighbor, at least it adds to this gorgeous scene Carolyn, a real beauty!! #9510073Michelle Alton July 06, 2011
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! #9510079

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. #9511089Neal D. Hatcher July 06, 2011
