Galveston’s 1900 Storm Memorial

Photo by Johnny Hanson at the Houston Chronicle.
“And as for Johnny Hanson’s photo of the 1900 Storm Memorial with a wave crashing in the background … well, the composition and inherent poignancy of the image move me beyond words. An award-winning shot, if there ever was one.”
This memorial was destroyed Sept. 13, 2008 by Hurricane Ike. :(
UPDATE - Turns out the memorial wasn’t destroyed after all.
