About The storm clouds are gathering, and the wind is a welcome at this point. The public works crews were busy, removing picnic tables and trash receptacles off the Venice Jetty, and very few people were out. Most are doing their shopping, and preparing for the possibility of loss of electricity, flooding or evacuation. I am ready, emergency bag is packed...plenty of fresh water..camera equipment ready...and now I join the rest of Florida and wait. Shutter speed..1/320...Aperture...10.0

a bit more space on the left should benefit though

Batten down the hatches Gloria. Hope everything is OK for you. The run up to the storm has given us in calmer climes a wonderful image to view.
Regards
Den & Margaret (we're sitting viewing together)

This isn't the kind of photos I had in mind for the beach patrol. Lets hope Bonnie weakens and Charlie stays south.
Best

Magnifica perspectiva. La textura del mar embravecido es excelente. Hecho de menos un poco mas de contraste y saturacion en el cielo. Por lo demás , un excelente trabajo. (espero que no llegaras a mojarte...)

Saludos desde Bilbao

Good luck with Charley. Let us know how it goes. (IMO, Charley should have been named Clyde.) Hope you got some more storm shots.

Gorgeous turquoise water and lovely surf Gloria. The sky still lokks so calm, just before the storm right. Stay safe and take care please.

Better you master the storm than the storm masters you!
Nice shot!
Take care!
Franz

Lol Susan...we think alike, I also thought it would have been nice to have Charlie be Clyde!!Definitly a missed opportunity...I was fortunate, although I was evacuated, I returned this morning, and my home is fine. It is not so for the folks just twenty five minutes away...a lot of devastation..and they are saying loss of life....Gloria


Margaret Sturgess   {K:49403} 8/15/2004
Wonderful image, shame to think it is about to cause such devastation
Margaret


Gloria Fusco   {K:7054} 8/17/2004
Thank you Margaret, and yes it is hard to believe what would follow on the next day. I took this photo about 10 AM...and by 2:00 PM on the same day, I was being evacuated. This particular part of Venice is on an island, and all the residents and tourists were told to evacuate. At one point the eye of the storm was heading for this area, but at the last moment it changed paths..and did absolutely total devastation to a very old and historiacal little town south of Venice.

Magnificent, restless seascape. Beautiful, even with all it's fury. This image jumped out to me as I looked at this page. Great composition, colors and detail. You've captured the moment and feeling well. Thanks so much for stopping to comment on mine.. You have some lovely images in your portfolio, which I plan to look into fully! Regards, Rebecca

The water looks so beautiful here, Gloria! Thanks for sharing the disastrous scenes after Bonnie/Charley. One who has never been even close to a hurricane can?t imagine how it really is! God bless you all!


Jeff Cartwright   {K:52046} 8/18/2004
Excellent Capture of the Turbulence Of the Sea Lapping the Coastline....Certainly a Awsome Event!...Gloria!. What is the Little Square?...Need to Crop it Out!.....7/7
Jeff.


Gloria Fusco   {K:7054} 8/18/2004
Ooops...I never noticed it...it is part of the next building...thanks for pointing it out Jeff, I will be much more careful in the future....Gloria


Glenn Edmiston   {K:7628} 8/28/2004
Beautiful surf shot Gloria . I am having a lot of trouble with my server since the storm . Been busy getting the trees and trash cleaned up from Charlie . But we where blessed with very little damage to the house Cheers for now Glenn


Gloria Fusco   {K:7054} 8/28/2004
Hi Glenn...I am so happy you escaped most of the damage. I was down that way last week, and could not believe my eyes..I thought of you and your wife, and prayed that you would find things as you left them before your trip...welcome back...Gloria


Christina Christina   {K:137} 11/16/2004
Gloria, I do love what you do, excellent work! Regards, Christina :)
