Dressed In Black

What remains of the forest near Ashcroft British Columbia. In August 2024, the Shetland Creek wildfire raged through the Venables Valley. Saranagati Village, a Hare Krishna community in the valley was evacuated due to the fast-moving fire. The villagers of this rural off-the-grid community practice bhakti and are followers of Srila Prabhupada. Some homes were lost, but many were saved. The fire left a huge scar in the local landscape. I've been in many wildfire areas, but I've never seen the landscape as black as this.
