The Fallen šØš¦
A fallen tree in the glacier-fed Annette Lake. There are more trees in Canada than any country except Russia : 318 billion or 40% of its land mass (source: treehugger.com) This is despite the wild fires, which raged through vast swathes of Canada last year and the year before.
Last July nearby Jasper was particularly badly affected losing 358 of its 1,113 structures. The fires were so powerful they were able to cross the river. Mercifully the town was evacuated with only the loss of one life, a fire fighter. There are still enormous tracts of charred trees, but the area remains staggeringly beautiful and life goes on.
