August 26thWow, I am still shocked by a lot of these. They are just incredible. I would love to know the locations of some of these, especially the ice storm photos. Where ever that is, I don’t think I want to live there. Nature can create some pretty incredible phenomenons. We just have to roll with the punches. Thanks

August 27thWow! This photo is very impressive! I live in South Korea has four seasons. South Korea looks so very beautiful. But this picture is seen as a kind of a disaster. I have not seen it once the weather is one of the ocean.
