Five-Years Ago (01-November-2012) — New Jersey.

Hurricane Sandy Aftermath:  Day 3.

Many trees and wires were down. The power had been out for several days. Those with gasoline emergency generators were out of luck when they ran out of gas — the gas stations if you could get to them didn’t have emergency generators to run the pumps. One of the lessons learned. Now many gas stations have auxiliary power. I still had a bit of propane in my RV to run the generator, however food in the fridge and freezer in the house was going bad. I was cooking outside on a charcoal grill. Images from that day taken with a Leica V-Lux 30 camera.

Backyard Autumn Nature

After raining most of the day, the clouds started clearing in the west allowing the late afternoon sun to light up the trees with their fall colors. All I had to do was step out onto my patio and point the camera east.

Liberty State Park, Ellis Island National Monument, and Statue of Liberty.

A friend from Virginia stopped by on his way to the fall Nikonian ANPAT trip in Maine. We spent the day doing a pre-ANPAT visit to Liberty State Park, Ellis Island, and the Statue of Liberty.
