The green hill beyond makes this look much more hopeful and balanced. Very nice.

I am not one to applaud fire but in Alaska fire is essential to the health and well being of the total ecology there. Lightening strikes are the cause. Our biggest problem with fire today is when we build homes in the middle of forrested areas.

sad looking photo, but great capture, did you take a small pit home as a reminder to what damage we can do.

I don't know what happens after a fire of this magnitude, but I would send in a crew and cut down all the stumps and plant new trees to replace those lost. It would of course be best to try and learn from the disaster, as to leaving bigger firebreaks etc. A sad scene but an excellent and informative picture Richard. Bravo!!!!!
