"Storm Drain", Waves of the Chesapeake Bay break against the opening of a storm drain that runs from the Ocean View beachfront directly into the bay in Norfolk, Virginia. This is but one of several massive storm drains that line the beach every few hundred yards. After a big storm, you can stand near the end of the drain at low tide, and see the water and garbage gushing out, said Chesapeake Bay Foundations Chris Moore.

As this rainforest cat is extremely shy, I needed to work with a special camera - trap setup in order to show this magnificent animal.
