Wine laid to waste
A worker climbs over vats, barrels and wine bottles that were toppled and damaged by a massive earthquake a week earlier, at a winery in Santa Cruz in the Colchagua Valley on March 6. Some 125 million liters of Chilean wines worth roughly $250 million were spilled during the magnitude-8.8 quake on Feb. 27 that killed hundreds of people.
Pier pressure
A person walks on the pier in Collioure, southen France, as heavy snow falls on March 8.
Who's counting
Clothes dry on a line outside an apartment building in the Russian enclave of Brighton Beach on March 7 in the Brooklyn borough of New York. As the 2010 census count begins, neighborhoods like Brooklyn, one of the most diverse in the country, are notoriously difficult for census workers to tally. Brooklyn's population is dense and often wary of revealing ethnicity to the government for fear of immigration difficulties. The U.S. census counts every resident in the United States, and is required by the Constitution to take place every 10 years.
As for why I chose these pictures: I love wine. I want to go back to France someday. And the last picture has more to do with the caption than the picture itself...I will be "censusing"...will you??
