Bushfires still

I will confess that while devastated by the forest destruction I am mesmerised by the post-apocalyptic colouring of the trees.
What a magnificent tree this spotted gum would have been.
Wonderful you can see beauty in the destruction

Fav. Excellent use of the light. Anyway you look at it nature is always amazing. It is us humans who are destroying what The Almighty gave us.
January 28th, 2020

January 28th, 2020  
lovely

I like the tones in this but it looks sad.
January 28th, 2020  
Beautiful, although desolate, at least for now.
January 28th, 2020  
nature will recover...
January 28th, 2020

It's a beautiful colour now. I love the way the Bush revives after such things and how new life springs up from the forest floor. It may take a wee bit longer this time methinks as it was so huge. Love the goldenness of this scene.

The forest is growing slowly. These are views for future generations. Beautiful shot.

@777margo @jamibann @gosia thanks for the comments, on one hand it is beautiful and on the other it somehow seems wrong to 'enjoy' the destruction!
@ludwigsdiana @seacreature thanks so much I appreciate your positive comments, always good to get independent feedback
@sangwann thanks, I'm not religious, but WHAT HAVE WE DONE!
@pistache thank you Clare, I think its good for the world to see what's happening
@pdulis @mittens @mjalkotzy yes it is dreadfully sad and desolate and its not over yet
@blueberry1222 @cocobella @casablanca @haskar Recovery is clear in the new growth in the trees and cycads, but unfortunately those thousands of little animal lives are gone forever.
@louannwarren thank yo so much Lou Ann, you've made my day:)
@carole_sandford @elisasaeter @randystreat I'm glad my 365 friends appreciate this rather sad beauty, thank you all.

Dystopian in feel, but a sort of horrific beauty to what remains.
January 29th, 2020  
The colouring is amazing.
January 29th, 2020  
Amazing colour. as sad as it is nature will take over eventually.
January 29th, 2020  
Thank you Wylie for all your images of the fire destruction. They make me sad, especially thinking about all the animals that were hurt. But to see the leaves and little trees starting to sprout again is wonderful in the midst of all that destruction.
January 29th, 2020  
Yes, the colours are lovely. That was a big specimen.

A different perspective to beauty, Mother Nature is a most varied artist.
