I am a Children’s Librarian living in the Portland, Oregon area. When I am not Children’s Librianing I like to play with cameras and film. I also like playing the ukulele, knitting, sketching, and hiking.

“What is most surreal thing you’ve ever seen?”

I don’t know. But I can tell you what the most surreal thing I’ve seen this weekend is.

We had an ice storm Saturday and it was crazy weird.  In the evening we heard trees cracking and limbs hitting the ground. Some of them came perilously close to cars in our parking lot.  The sound of the trees limbs cracking off of trees in the night was very surreal

When we woke up everything was encased in ice.

I took out my camera and snapped a few black and white film photos. When I was outside I heard ice and tree limbs crumbling to the ground. It was actually quite terrifying! I shot a video before I went back inside.

Today we are back to rain and all the snow has melted. It was fun and exciting while it lasted.

    Terre Haute was prone to ice storms in the years I lived there. I shot one, too — one of the coolest things I’d ever seen at that time, which was more than 20 years ago now. I found the photos several years ago and blogged about them. http://blog.jimgrey.net/2007/02/26/a-good-icing/
