With hurricane Ike bearing down on Texas, I thought it appropriate to post this photo just for the beautiful but somewhat chilling image it provides. It was taken by my daughter Karen a few days ago as hurricane Hannah worked its way up the Atlantic seaboard and was approaching Boston. I have not converted it to black and white. I understand that these are pretty much the real colors at the time it was taken.
