Like a grave site bouquet, flowers begin to grow between slag ballast and rusty 136-pound rails laid by Rio Grande in 1970’s, as nature slowly reclaims what is hers on top of Colorado’s Tennessee Pass on August 12, 2015. A look into the east portal of the Tennessee Pass tunnel reveals a bright light to the west, which unfortunately, is just the other end of an empty and silent bore. Will a train ever run here again? A cool breeze drifting from the dark bore seems to be saying “it’ll be a cold day in hell…”
To see what it looked like 30 years ago:

While I remember the big fires in Yellowstone back in 1988, all I thought about back then was why did they let it burn and that the park would be ruined for generations.
Living in Colorado, I have seen first hand the devastation caused by well-intentioned but misguided wildland fire management. Whether we like it or not the forests need to burn on occasion as nature intended. It creates healthier forests both for the trees and for the wildlife that inhabits these forests. I am reminded of this daily as I gaze to the foothills above where we live and see the scars of the Waldo Canyon fire from three years ago.
During our recent visit to Yellowstone, I have never seen healthier, more vibrant trees than in the areas that burned almost thirty years ago. No beetle kill or any other signs of distress, just a verdant blanket of green stretching across the hills.
In the scene above, taken along the Lewis River in early morning mist and fog, you can see survivors of the fire alongside burned trunks that even after this long have yet to fall. In the background is the new growth, signaling renewal and rebirth. Hopefully, within the next thirty years we will see the renewal of the Colorado forests that I so cherish.
Thanks for your views and comments!
This evening the setting sun enhanced by smoke from nearby forest fires made an interesting display of colour.
ICELAND 2015 - Gulfoss Waterfalls
Look at the middle left edge the size of people, really tiny. This waterfalls impressed me deeply, very deepley, I've seen Iguazú and Victoria, but Gulfoss is stunning and it provides a unique experience.
It was almost frozen when I was there, maybe because of that I felt as if I were in another world.
It's funny how sometimes it's just what takes your fancy at that moment. I've been meaning to post this shot for years and just never been in the right mood, but there it is, sitting near the top of my potential posts folder. Anyhow, here it is, time to pop it out there. Hope you are all keeping well however it is going in your neck of the woods. Thanks as always.
