So, what happened to this thread? Is there a second part I'm not aware of?

Thanks KXI. Hey, someone should reply on the "A Fun Little Game, Continued" thread before doing so is considered bumping a dead thread.

Hi Guys,

I am by no mean a photographer but here a a few shots I took with my iPhone while on a walk with my dog Jock. The area is crag land nearby my house and I find it a peaceful and wild place.

Not Connemara Dermot. Its a local pathway (5 minutes from my front door) that leads from my home town Ennis to a local lake (Kilone). The path predates historical manuscripts of the 1100s. It more that likely goes back to pagan times.

The great thing about the path is that it has remained untouched until recently. A new motorway now cut it in half! There are parts of the path that have cart wheel grooves over 4" deep, cut into the limestone. Every time I walk the path (which is often) I get a feeling on being in touch with the past. I'll post some more pictures as spring comes in.

Wow, Mike, nice photo there. It's called rocyroad2, do you have a rockyroad1?

Mike Lucey

Hi GF,

Its just on path, although split by a motorway. The nest time I'm out for a walk there I will take a selection of picture and upload. Its pissing rain here for the next few days and I'm only a fair weather walker so it will be a few days.

Here are some shots I took today. Thunderstorms rolled through last night which spawned an F3 tornado. The last time High Point, NC had a tornado was when I was 5 or 6 (I think, Haha).. I'm now 24. There were a few injuries reported but no fatalities. Woowee.

Jeeees David,

They are grim pictures. I didn't realise North Carolina got that sort of bad weather, but as you say its been a good few years since the last one. Did you suffer any damage yourself?

No sir! I live a good 10 miles away but this is where I grew up and I have friends that live in the neighborhood. I lived right down the street from these houses in high school. The newer houses down the street didn't fare too well. The second story of one house was ripped off and parked buses were flipped. The mayor said this morning that this is the worst damage High Point has ever received. The raw power this earth creates still amazes me.

Wow. The worst weather I've been in was an earthquake. I think it was a 3.4...4.3...I don't know, something like that. You have any other shots?

Hmmmmm, do I? or don't I? Oh what an epic internal battle. I think I don't...

An earthquake! I experienced a little shake when holidaying in CA in '86. 4.3 sounds like a bad one! Where was it?

I've never experienced an earthquake but I've had my fair share of hurricanes and those are no fun. Here are a few more shots from yesterday..

Mike Lucey

David,

I notice in the first pic (above set) that the house behind the uprooted tree seems untouched! I understand that these hurricanes can take a narrow path but thats amazing.

Mike, these are pics from the tornado that passed through. The house was untouched. The older brick homes didn't have as much damage as the newer homes down the street.
