SNOWMAGEDDON - DAY 2

Architype · #42 Posted **Jan 12, 2013, 2:29 AM**

Those are dramatic and beautiful photos.
I noticed not much activity online today, I learned some people are just regaining power, and I guess have been busy shoveling, etc.

Fantastic pictures today guys! I still don't have power and have a lot of digging left to go, so don't expect too much out of me tomorrow! Haha! Hope you all enjoyed the storm even if we were robbed 30cm

well at least now we can imagine how an Apocalypse would look like in Downtown St. John's!

jeddy1989 · #45 Posted **Jan 12, 2013, 3:45 AM**

These are the two most moving ones to me:

This one because these are places of business and modern bustling city downtown ... completely dead and overtaken by the crazy wind and snow - very post apocalyptic

This one because it is such a predominant symbol of the past and "hope and God" completely abandoned and the virgin statue almost helpless looking

all I can say is amazing work!

SignalHillHiker · #46 Posted **Jan 12, 2013, 3:51 AM**

Wow, thank you.

I liked the Virgin's statue as well. She looks like she's huddled and shivering from a distance.

now we understand ..

♫ When spreads thy cloak of shimmering white,
At winter's stern command,
Thro' shortened day, and starlit night,
We love thee, frozen land.
We love thee, we love thee
We love thee, frozen land.

When blinding storm gusts fret thy shore,
And wild waves lash thy strand,
Thro' spindrift swirl, and tempest roar,
We love thee windswept land.
We love thee, we love thee
We love thee windswept land. ♪

the two versus we usually leave out in the Ode

The windswept verse was always my second favourite, after As loved.

Beautiful, I love the first one. I saw that sunrise on my way to work this morning and was cursing myself for not bringing my camera.

jeddy1989 · #53 Posted **Jan 14, 2013, 3:10 PM**

awesome pics!!! as usual

Look at this

hey maybe one of you guys can take a picture at the exact angle as the older photo to show the progression of the West end DT

SignalHillHiker · #54 Posted **Jan 14, 2013, 3:19 PM**

I do have a few from that angle, Josh. I'll see if I can find them!

EDIT: Here is one:

I saw that on CBC this morning, I'm assuming it is the one in this picture. It just sailed through the narrows this morning.

Here's a look at it with a more correct angle. Signal, next time you are out can you see if you can get an updated shot at this angle?

I think it would be interesting to see how this area progresses from the same angle, especially from the 80s

yup, that is the one. Do I see "Halifax, NS" on the side? In case you are interested, here is some further info on it:

Yeah. I guess it's going there. I just posted it to their economic news thread.

EDIT: Apparently, it's owned by Halifax's Atlantic Towing but will be based out of St. John's.

And a few more...
