Description
SERIES BACKGROUND: How phenomenal is life on Earth? In addition to being known for their fury, hurricanes are also famous for their unpredictable nature. That unpredictability usually involves determining which way a hurricane is going to go before meteorologists decide they’ve got it figured out. In my recent encounter with Hurricane Idalia while in Savannah, Georgia (USA), I experienced a different kind of surprise caused by the hurricane resulting in some unexpected photography after it split what I believe was an oak tree in half.
Large limbs fell on electric power lines, evergreen shrubs, and a backyard shed. As amazed as I was by the destructiveness, I was equally amazed by the images I captured. I describe them as Abstract Nature Photography, Nature as Found Art, Nature as Artist, or Gifts of the Hurricane.
THIS SECOND GIFT OF THE HURRICANE shows where a branch crushed an evergreen shrub and, in terms of color photography, created something close to a triptych image effect. I was again mesmerized by to discover the intricate ecosystem and brilliant colors along the branch.

Thank you VIVA for checking out and commenting on "Gift of the Hurricane Number 2." When I captured this image, I not only felt that "need to respect Nature's Powers as higher than our own" which you speak of. I was also doubly astonished to be reminded of the fullness and richness of life that surrounds us everywhere ever day. That kind of thing makes me feel humbled.
