Disaster

2009.10.16
This photo was taken almost one year ago - on October 20th 2008

And this is how the same house looks like now. It was almost destroyed by the heavy snowfall. The snowfall came very early this year and the trees didn't have time to drop leaves (some of them are still green! under the snow of course). The weight of the snow on the leaves was too heavy for the branches and many of them fell... some on the roads, some on houses and many on electricity lines.

The forests in the area are forbidden to enter


A car inside :)


Few minutes ago behind my window.

Thank you all for the wonderful comments on my post from Bieszczady Mts. and sorry for the late reply. Because of what you can see above I didn't have electricity for 4 days. Not to mention removing 70 cm of snow from the garage, road, barn... DAMN IT!

smbunation Whoa. Those first two shots are stunning. I too hope all is well and that the rest of the season does not bring too much more than the house can handle.

Nychthemeron zima w tym roku zaskoczyła wszystkich

matero "Nieźle" narozrabiało, aż się nie chce wierzyć. Słuchając komunikatów radiowych (w komórce, prądu oczywiście nie było) zastanawiałem się jak to wygląda w waszych górach. Już wiem (a tak abstrahując - bardzo przyjemna ta pierwsza fotka ;) )

dhulsmeyer But on a positive, it provided an opportunity for great shots and you took advantage of it. That last one is excellent. Last year on September 15 we lost our power due to a hurricane for 5 or 6 days. It's no fun being without modern conveniences.

Widcat I'm glad you're alright. I've seen what happens when the snow comes when the trees are still leafy. What a mess. Your last picture is beautiful and I favorited it.
Widcat · 2009-10-19: 21:56

jessicashan · 2009-10-19: 23:52
ArtBee Whoa what a difference a day makes! Not nice when you have to clear all the snow away, going without electricity is no picnic either! A forest is beautiful when all is well, but heartbreaking when nature wreaks it's havoc. It's such a shame to see trees destroyed like that! You got some great pictures out of it though, the last one is beautiful! Looks like a really nice place!

azuul ostatnie.... ach :}

terryl Who needs a gym membership when there's snow to shift? I envy you the scenery but I don't envy you the work, the lack of electricity, and especially the lack of the internet.
terryl · 2009-10-20: 10:37

Kisia był tam aż taki śnieg? podobno gdzieś w górach jest teraz zagrożenie lawinowe?
