This picture was taken right after
Hurricane Hugo made its way through
Columbia in September of 1989...

A number of the many pines in my
parents' yard suffered the same fate as this
one by the walk, which was pushed over enough
to be uprooted (although adjacent trees kept
it from falling completely to the ground).

Many parts of Columbia are seas of
pine trees just as is seen here...
