Newcastle Storm Photos, Part 2

Posted in Photography, Randomness by Will on June 12, 2007.

Since Windows Live Writer, Beta 2 seems to be chucking a hissy fit about having so many photos on one page, here is part 2.

See Part 1 for more photos, and information.

_MG_6003More than a downpour
Very heavy rains filling up the rail lines, and making it impossible for trains to run. 

_MG_6009 Leaky Roof at Civic Train Station. Friday afternoon.
Even being under cover doesn’t mean you’ll stay dry.

_MG_6056 Fine Sunny Morning
The garden had very little damage, surprisingly enough.   Saturday Morning (Early)

_MG_6147Robyn & Margaret’s new gum trees.
The base of the bigger tree extended across the driveway and another 5 meters or so.

_MG_6179 Someone has a muddy pool.
This house down was only finished about 3-4 months ago.

_MG_6276 Interesting location for a tree.
I don’t think this was part of the design specs.  This was, however, one of the worst cases along the point that I saw. Most places were missed.

_MG_6230High-flying Arborist
This guy gets lifted up to the top of the tree by crane, and then proceeds to hack said tree apart with his chainsaw.

_MG_6279The heavy-towing truck come to get the crane out of a muddy driveway gets stuck in the same muddy driveway. 

_MG_6286The crane got out, and now helps the tow-truck out.

_MG_6297The crane and tow-truck together dug someone a new swimming pool - although, I’m not too sure he’s that pleased it’s in his driveway.
