The damage to the elm trees is from the ice storm of December 21-22.
Recording the transformation of a living, breathing field into a plastic surface.
A look at why the updates to this project have slowed: it's dark. These were taken with my D800 and 50/1.4 lens, which I carried for the purpose; there's not much that's better in the dark, and these are meagre and unuseful. My other option is to use my GR on a fence-topping tripod, but that doesn't work when there's even a mild wind.
