The Bastrop, TX fire. One of many in Texas this summer.
Say aaahhh.
There are some amazing photos there. the one of the seven-month old boy is shocking.
Chilling.
My favorites are 1, 3, 4, 8, 10, 19, 20, 22 and 45.
Must have been a different “best photo” list...the one i recall as first was a crowd shot from Russia.
Thank God someone remembered Amy Winehouse.

Bah! That didn’t even rate being called a disaster by our president...
The most powerful image in my mind from this year is the destruction to Tuscaloosa, AL, from the April 27 tornado that hit. I was there in August, and though a lot of clean-up had been done, I was shocked at the destruction. It was surreal to see the path of destruction. Much more shocking in person than in photos.
This photograph makes me cry every time, and the video was just as touching. Man’s best friend, indeed.
Because Texas didn't vote for him. Here's the sky in Austin 30 miles west of Bastrop. Smoke and haze went for hundreds of miles. That and other fires could be seen on satellite. 
Yep.
A third or more are nothing but feel-good propaganda for liberal agendas.
How sad to see this collection...
Focus was on War, Nature and Perverts
I like the composition of #33 and the lonliness and massive damage, the juxtaposition of a guy in a suit, Ipod with drought and starvation in #38, #30, #27 and #45 are also great
The rest are ok as the depict events but really ho-hum photogrpahs and I hate the sick perverts being in there.
Why was my comment removed?
Getty does not allow any of their pictures to be posted on Free Republic.
Oh, ok. Thanks for the explanation.
