Another photograph from our gulf coast trip. This photo was taken during the same thunderstorm as the previously posted shots.

Camera settings and post-processing: Shot with the Canon EOS 5D and the Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L lens at 17mm, ISO 200, f/16, 1/30s. Lightroom curves adjustment, color balancing.

There are some cool lines in this photo. The tree appears to be connecting the telephone poles to the mushroom-shaped cloud plume in the sky on the left. The cloud shape is the edge or base of a cumulonimbus cloud system that is dumping heavy rain and thunderstorms in the near distance.

Here's what's left of Pepere's house on Forest Street in Clermont Harbor, MS. The current owner's brother is living ('camping out') on the property. His name is Paul from Canada who says the place had reminded him of his grandmother's before Hurricane Katrina. He's been collecting storm debris to decorate the place (building a shrine / Katrina junk museum). He welcomes visitors and cameras and was very interested in hearing about the family history on the property.

This is typical of what the Bay St. Louis Mississippi back-bay looks like. Plenty of vacant lots for sale and plenty of new construction. This is from our trip in June '08.

This photo was taken while on our trip to the Mississippi Gulf Coast -- this late day thunderstorm was blowing toward us, lightning and all. Here is the calm before the storm juxtaposed against the damaged piers from Katrina and others.
