The textures and tones are still beautiful. But it’s a dreadful idea that this was destroyed by a fire.
Pity but I couldn’t read the article, not available in the Netherlands.

A wonderful capture but such a sad story. It must have been a real nightmare. The info you supply with your shots is always so interesting and new to me.

[Geertje K.]

It looks so dry. I hope in a few years it will be green again.

Sad event, Fire doesn't take prisoners, but you've captured a good shot of why it shouldn't happen again.

[Steve Chappell]

Great shot, but very sad
