I still feel sad when I go down to the beach, what lies beneath those gentle waves? With each passing day though the beach becomes just the beach again and the story gets dropped. We are not used to feeling vulnerable, overwhelmed by natures forces, but there it is; we are! I think these photos as usual are beautiful and I hope altogether you clever artists raise lots of money!xodash robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09985007576083764068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6748002247446136138.post-84571923194851759882011-02-11T15:29:40.505+10:002011-02-11T15:29:40.505+10:00amazing how much it took out of us all, wasn't...amazing how much it took out of us all, wasn't it lee lee? if you ever want to test just how delicate you really are combining severe chronic illness and pain with a natural disaster seems like a fairly successful way to do it...can't believe how shaken i still am on so many levels by the whole thing. <br /><br />good to see you too corina. and yes, photos were part of the silver lining! had a feeling it could be pretty interesting as dawn broke so i wasn't going to miss that moment. <br /><br />XXOO to you bothKirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16189107154073113619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6748002247446136138.post-31873208775208984412011-02-10T01:58:59.572+10:002011-02-10T01:58:59.572+10:00Good to see you back Kirsten, and that you were ab...Good to see you back Kirsten, and that you were able to take the stunning photographs of devastation. <br />Look after yourself my friend with the recovery from the terrifying ordeal.<br />Love corinaCorina Duynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16721121652824312851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6748002247446136138.post-1432073042442836252011-02-09T09:18:32.948+10:002011-02-09T09:18:32.948+10:00It really was a dreadful event and it's amazin...It really was a dreadful event and it's amazing how much damage the stress alone can do to us. My home is on a hill so was never in danger but i do still feel like I am recovering from the effects of adrenalin due to worry about friends and family. It seems like mother nature has gone mad ... something wretched is happening in every corner of the globe! At least we made it through :)Lee Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02614823402670740413noreply@blogger.com
