Thanks Irene !!!

In spite of all the devestation left in the wake of Hurricane Irene, it has disipated into either a Tropical Storm or Tropical Depression, not sure of its actual status at this time.

But she has arrived, or her outer bands have arrived in Ottawa giving us a great diisplay of colours and designs.

I was busy, if you can believe it, washing the dog when my wife calls down that I must see the sunset!  So out goes to dog and off I run across the street to the clearing and got these shots.  Unfortunately no HDRs but the clouds were moving so fast that HDR wouldn't have turned out anyway.

It is just sad that something this beautiful can be so devestating.  I wish everyone on the East Coast well as they pump out the water and return to normal.
