Weather is more than just small talk!



After the last lecture on picture stories, I thought I might just post a few incredible National Geographic photos. Of course I wish I had taken them, but no. So, here they are:










It is such a skill to photograph something so devastating as weather and natural disasters, with such beauty and respect. These photos are beautiful in themselves and do not result to sensationalising the issue as is done far too often in mainstream media. The images not only respect the event and the damage done, but still manage to maintain a human element within the composition. I am in awe of anyone who can do this!
