hill of burned trees

Every time I drive up north now, this is what I see. Will take lots of time for the trees to grow back.

We have seen that here as well

This is incredible. Almost abstract. So sad!

At least the vegetation has a better chance of recovery from the fire (think Mt St Helens) then if they had been hit by the bulldozer.

In Washington, human environmental intrusion: one power transformer explosion caused fire, one tree branches into power lines during the massive wind storm this past week. And somewhere else, a photo shot that used a smoke bomb for effect that sparked a brush fire.

That is a striking photograph.

This is too sad. What a desolate landscape.

[Kate]

So sad that so many acres are like this.

[Milanie]

Just hard to look at. As you said, will take many years to return.

[Diana]

Great image albeit so sad!

[Issi Bannerman]

Oh dear. So sad, A good record of this devastation though.

[Margaret Brown]

So sad. Wounds of the Earth.
