The bank vault at the Commerce Bank branch at 1804 E. 20th St. was the only part of the structure left standing after the tornado a week ago Sunday.(Joplin Globe/Randy Tobias)
oh my gosh...so sad ...it speaks volumes. Its a beautiful photograph despite the destruction in its wake...and yet gives the hope of survival with a sturdy foundation. excellent excellent post! Happy WW and thanks for stopping by!!
so sad, I am thinking this is the tornado that took many lives, the trees behind look like seletons like burnt trees, do you live in this area? my thoughts are with those who lost loved ones, Frances
(Thanks for stopping by my WW so I could find you! My photo was taken in the Yukon Territory in one of the many rivers that feed the lakes up there. It was cold, but beautiful!)
Good for the bank vault, I guess. It is so sad to see the devastation surrounding it. There are people in Joplin that I knew (it is a few hours south of where I live). I met students at camp about 12 years ago...and to know that they and their families are suffering breaks my heart. Thank you for stopping by my blog, however. I appreciated your visit and your comment.
That is both sad and impressive. Quite a stark picture actually. Thanks for sharing and stopping by.

It's a great photo. But so sad about the devastation.
