Photo of the Day: Guards Against the Sky

The theme of “Water Matters” would not have been the first that would have interested me, but of all the subjects to which entire weeks have been devoted at the Chautauqua Institution, this particular topic from July, when I attended, may be the one that lingers the longest in my mind, given the climate events of this past summer.

I took this particular photo of Lake Chautauqua during the week. It seems to epitomize the threat that weather extremes have posed these past several years—as well as our inadequacy before the imminent storms.
