The Coolest Photo I Have Seen in Forever

From The Atlantic Monthly’s photo essay on Joplin, Missouri, one year after the tornado: http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2012/05/one-year-since-the-joplin-tornado/100303/

Caption reads: A tall steel cross is refracted in raindrops on a window in Joplin, Missouri, on May 7, 2012. The cross is all that was left standing of St. Mary’s Catholic Church, which was destroyed by an EF-5 tornado that tore through a large swath of the city and killed 161 people nearly a year ago.
