<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 40342, member: 44"]At first I also thought volcano, but on editing, cropping zooming I now think some sort of storm. The main reason I think storm is that after brightening up the foreground, It looks like damaged vegetation, like possibly knocked down damaged trees. 2ndly those trees high on the ridge seem to be blowing in the wind. They don't look like settled palm trees. The palms fronds seem blowing downhill following the line of those whirling clouds.</p><p><br /></p><p>I thought there were 2 houses down the hill on our left. Wrong, there is only 1 house. The house and the trees on the ridge do not look seriously damaged. To the far left of that house is a hill/promontory in the distance. That promontory has a very slight resemblance to Diamond Head; however, am sure it isn't for too rounded. Between the house and that hill are more trees in an open area. The promontory, the open area with the trees and the house are probably looking out over something, maybe the ocean that is not viewable. On our right at the top of the hill is another house. Am including one of the pic I edited. I brightened it more than normal to see if you think there are damaged trees in the foreground.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as that line of whatever over the house chimney, I don't know. I'm tempted to say it is weird openings in the clouds, trash/specks/damage on the original negative, flying debris from a hurricane though that much hurricane debris rarely appears in such a linear manner. I'm saying hurricane rather than cyclone because this could easily be a hilly Caribbean island. There are several hilly Caribbean Islands like Guadeloupe, Jamaica, U.S. Virgin Islands, Trinidad & Tobago, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Montserrat, Haiti, etc. That corner of the world seem to get hit by hurricanes every few years.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]10133[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
