First Place - Hurricane Sandy

NY

I feel this is more of the unobtrusive type of shot that could be posted of the damage that was done. Many homes were damaged on this side of the community. Other homes had full on views of homes' contents , things like clothing on hangers, sofas, etc. Out of respect to the owners of these homes I feel shots like that should not be posted online w/out the owner's consent. The inside view of their homes should remain as private as possible. Many homes can be repaired without being completely demolished but a few like this one I believe will be completely rebuilt. One home had completely collapsed. I wouldn't be too quick to post other damaged home shots as I think they are not abandoned for the long term.

I really like this photo for how surreal the slice out of the house is.

Wow, very striking and dramatic. It's difficult to believe that structure isn't tipping more with so much of it missing. Nicely done! ~Melanie
