Last Standing Grove

Taken on a trip to Gulf Shores, one year after Katrina and two years after Ivan, the shoreline devastation was still undescribable.

Oddly, the light of a full moon painted, in magnificent detail, the true bleakness of the (de)forestation. This photograph, and it's companions are a testimony to how gray what should be green appears even years after such and event.

This photograph is of a lone grove of trees, near a cul-de-sac, and lit telephone booth. Literally, it was the only standing grouping of trees along the intercoastal shoreline.
