Skeleton Trees and New Growth

In 2003 there was a wildfire in Marble Canyon, and 11 years later this is what the place looked like: dead mature trees, but a vivid green undergrowth of young trees are brightening up the place!

This photo was taken from the viewing platform over Marble Canyon waterfall in Kootenay NP (see one of my previous photos). Here you can see the wild and winding water of Tokkum Creek just before it plunges down.
