We aren't unaccustomed to brutal winter weather. I'd like to think New Englanders can actually be rather resistent to the constant flux of weather patterns we experience. But at the end of October we met Hurricane Sandy face to face, and many people we surprisingly unprepared. (I still can't believe just a Category 1 could cause so much damage.

I've given myself the task of shooting scapes about once a week for the next couple of months. My first stop: Sachuest Point and...
