After fire

It is a burnt out sedge meadow. Fortunately, the fire was very superficial and you can see the undamaged surface under the scorched grass.

I hope it grows back through quickly. Nice capture to document the fire.

[Christina]

Hopefully it grows back quick and it didn't spread too far and wide!

[bkb in the city]

Very nice shot

[Beryl Lloyd]

I assume this was a controlled fire to cleanse the land -- great textures in the land

[Wylie]

Interesting scene

[tony gig]

Natures a great thing and it will grow back...

[Delwyn Barnett]

The tree looks blackened up quite a way!

[Mags]

It will look very lush and green when it comes back. =)

[Peter Dulis]

Was it a planned fire to maintain the health of a forest?

[Kerry McCarthy]

Won't be long before nature brings it back to life. Maybe you can go back and take another shot when it recovers to compare.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

That is really sad looking. I hope it recovers soon.

[gloria jones]

Such devastation...Hopefully, new growth will rebuild this land.

[Margaret Brown]

Hope it recovers quickly, so sad to see the damage

[Heather]

Fire can be so devastating. I'm glad you noticed that this one was superficial. The earth looks like a roiling ocean. Good capture.

[carol white]

Great capture,it will soon grow back I think

[Renee Salamon]

Great close up capture of the devastations of fire

[Esther Rosenberg]

ai, Glad to hear you see new life under the damaged grounds.

[sarah]

Glad it wasn’t too severe

[Kate]

Controlled burn, lightning strike, or carelessness - do you know? When I lived in South Carolina I was surprised when people burned their lawns every year.

[Babs]

Hope it grows back quickly.

[Islandgirl]

Should grow back soon!

[Kathy]

Hopefully killed the weeds and allows the new growth to be vital.

[bruni]

You know Nature takes over and it will be like new again.

[Taffy]

It's a very dramatic scene.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Was this a controlled burn? I know there are spots around here where they do that to keep the tick population down. It doesn't take long before everything grows in again. Good shot.

@beryl @pdulis @k9photo @randystreat @olivetreeann I don't know if this fire was a controlled burnout. In Poland, controlled burnout is prohibited by law, but there are exceptions. Now we have a severe drought and such treatments are very dangerous.

[Bucktree]

It looks devastating but it’s amazing how lush it grows back.

[Nick]

Thank goodness the fire didn't reach all those trees in the background.
