99%?
Normally I would think that's pretty darn good.... hehehehe...
Proteas? Yes......
but what I was trying to say is that around here in Southern California, the problem is not whether we're destroying forests on purpose.... lighting strikes enough in the hills to cause that all by nature's own self -
the problem here is that people go running around screaming and crying about how their homes were destroyed by a fire which was caused by arson (or accidentally), that spread to thousands of acres....
when one looks across the Southern Cal landscape, one wonders why there aren't more closely knit neighbourhoods with apartments.... which is finally coming around, actually....
it's all a shame, really

Your 99% right about the fires but look at the gums in Ozzie. Evolved to burn occasionally but the problems thay get come from contolling that tendency artificially and what about the proteas that can't drop their seeds with out a fire?

Thanks Regina!
I'll check it out.....
yes, blatant de-forestation has never done any one any good -
this series here of the fire is another example of the expansion of humankind into the wilderness, developing towns further and further out, invading nature....
and it's particularly difficult here in Southern California, because we do not get any rain usually from April through November...... it's always dry - after all, it is a desert too....

very sad results.... but great documentary Yoshi!
7 + : Congratulations!!!
i have interviewed once a polish photographer and artist that brings these 'after fire' photographs and became world-reknown by devoting his time for this CRY OUT series...
have You heard of FRANZ KRAJCBERG, Yoshi?
Krajcberg fights against the destruction of the Amazon Forest, and Nature in a global sense.
He has his works in several important museums worldwide: New York, Paris, London, Seoul Korea, Munich, Stockholm, Venice, among others:

Krajcsberg's English Bio is found at:

kind regards,
Regina

hi yoshi, this one has to be my favorite of the three. i'm enthralled with the patterns of the dead branches against the sky. also, this one shows a bit more of the landscape itself and evokes a broader mental image of what the area must look like after the fire. very cool!
take care,
tom

What a shame Yoshi, and here we have had the second day of constant rain with rivers flooding their banks and fish swimming over roads I was driving over just last Sunday !!

Good shot with loads of detail, Yoshi! The colours are magnificent, too.
I probably would have sacrificed a bit of detail to add some more contrast. That's a personal thing: I like more punchy contrast in my images.
Also, it would have been nice if the whole of the foreground stump had been included. A little bit of it was cut off in the foreground. (That's my petty niggle for this photo :)

Another great composition, showing the result of the fire. I like '2' the most of the three. All three excellent though
