Good to see some green grass growing (i.e. lower left) - maybe the area will eventually be actually better off.

Fantastic capture, Richard. Not much left after a huge fire, it seems. But the main thing for planet earth is, that it will recover.

Nature is an interesting school marm, full of lessons, many often seemingly contradictory, at least to our mindset. A forest fire is one, so often tragic in our eyes, the loss of beautiful woods and life that must either flee the blaze or perish in the wake. Yet the land renews and the fire can rejuvenate so that life returns and is again strong, and is no more to nature's eyes than rain or sun or the turning seasons. Beautiful capture.

Excellent capture and it certainly looks devastated! Some wildfires are of course normal (as in, without human intervention), but I would have thought that nature recovers faster from it.

Oh, such a sad picture. Alas, I've seen forest fires while visiting the Grand Canyon myself. Apparently the forest gets so dry and then poof some idiot goes camping and sets the trees on fire. Great picture and POV.

I am so sad Richard. Which beauties lost. All everywhere through the globe there are distresses of all kinds and little there pay a feverish attention. Those which like Nature have the broken heart ((5++__)) Je suis si triste Richard . Quelles beautées perdues . Tout partout à travers la terre il y a détresses de toutes sortes et peu y portent une attention fébrile . Ceux qui aiment la Nature ont le coeur brisé ((5++))
