Description
"And, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth."
--Sir Martin Rees
In memory of the many thousands of people killed by the recent earthquake that ripped across South Asia, and the millions of living and injured left devastated by it. Pictured, the St. Augustine National Cemetery, adjacent to the Coast Guard Headquarters. This photo was chose to be Kodak's Picture of the Day for April 14th, 2006. It was featured on their website and on their jumbotron screen in Times Square.

Ok! Now this works well with the B&W effect. I like this a lot. Very very cool! KP BTW, Got a new Disciple up.
Yes, great thoughts for a terrible event... Your work is still perfect!
Ooops...at first i read "And, lol..." and honestly...this is no laughingmatter. #:oP THIS IS SOOOO KEWL!!! Or as Pascale would have said: WICKED!!!! Or as Pete (DarkestAngel) would have said: THIS IS THE DOGS BOLLOCKS!!! Well you get what im trying to say dont ya Kort!!! SUPEEEEEEEERB!!! Come on now...get me that tutorial already. Have a swell day. #:O)
We realise only for a short time how fragile life is and then only forget. This year we have seen much destruction and death abroad but also at home. I hope that we learn from them.
A top Image....hard to Imagine so many Lives shattered and so many Dead. Respect.
Very good use of b&w.
Sadness for all these disastrous victims in South Asia. The largest earthquake I've been in was in 1975 measured at 7.2 . Their earthquake was much more massive. Prayers and thoughts to them and also the Guatemala mudslide victims. Aloha
deep sad photo - thanks
Well done Kort, the earth is rebelling now days and we must pay attention to her needs. Great lighting and Pov on this dedi...well done! Aloha!
A beautiful shot and a kind homage to all that guys. The world became so crazy... and it's time for us to pay all we have done in destruction of Mother Nature, even if it's so sad. I agree with the words of Egmont, our life is something precious and fragile, in one second it could be changed completly. That's why we must take care of us, and of our wonderful little planet. I like the infrared effect you do on this shot. Really beautiful and very similar to the filter effect. Superb ! V
Sublime the epitome of photography, well done.
Vibrant tribute. Nice picture indeed.
Excellent pic and postwork..very nice dedi ..the infrared works well here.
beautiful hommage ... wonderful interplay of light and shadow !
Yeah, it almost seems like the wrath of God...tsunami's hurricanes, tornados and earthquakes...a fitting memorial.
I knew immediatrely that this was a National cemetary....the even row upon row of graves. Very moving done in infrared. Excellent shot.
Beautiful work !!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

Sound like Revelation in the Bible.... And yes, the plagues were mentioned there too, unfortunately! And with all the momdern means we have we cannot prevent these tragedies from happening! sigh Wonderful work, Kort, special as always!
