Picture of the Week, 12/14/10
Blizzard in Jonesborough, Tennessee
This week’s picture of the week was a no brainier. Today I woke up at 6 a.m. and the air temperature was 29 degrees with a wind chill of 10 degrees (that’s Fahrenheit!). I know, I was outside watering the plants so they wouldn’t freeze. But as cold as it was here in South Florida we were still better off than most everywhere except Hawaii and Southern California. So I guess most of you looking at this picture can relate.
By the way, the picture was made in Jonesborough, Tennessee during a blizzard and it was a lot more fun taking that picture than water plants this morning!
Technical details:
- Leica M6 w/ 35mm f/2.0 Summicron
- Ektachrome LPZ transparency film

“Sign sign everywhere a sign breaking up the scenery blowing my mind”, written and sung by Five Man Electrical Band, could easily be applied to this image. While I don’t think this is quite what they had in mind, I can’t help but think of the song when looking at the picture.
Picture of the Week, 6/28/10
Seeing how this week we have our first named tropical storm, Alex, I thought I would mark the occasion by posting an image shot during Hurricane Hugo. For those who may not remember the specifics, Hugo reached category 5 status in September of 1989 and struck various Caribbean islands and eventually made it’s way into South Carolina leaving in its wake a massive path of destruction.
