A lone cabin stands rebuilt amidst the remains of what was one of the 5 largest forest fires to burn Colorado, the Hayman Fire, at nearly 140,000 acres.
The Hayman.
We met him in May 1983 near the river at the place Soča. He came from the pasture and carried the dry hay towards his stable.
He looked tired but happy and satisfied. And he had a smile on his face.
Der Heumann.
Wir trafen ihn im Mai 1983 nahe des Flusses beim Ort Soča. Er kam von der Weide und trug das trockene Heu in Richtung seines Stalles.
Er wirkte müde aber glücklich und zufrieden. Und er hatte ein Lächeln in seinem Gesicht.

Click for video of the Hayman fire as seen from Lost Valley

During my first trip to Hayman burn scar, we came across a place called Lost Valley Ranch. Posted clearly on the Ranch entrance timbers was a AAA sign, so we took it as an invitation.
The nearly mile long driveway meandered through some thriving pines, a creek and a sweeping view of the burn scar. As we descended, this expansive ranch hidden in a "lost valley" took us by surprise.
Some folks were playing volleyball in a field surrounded by several western-style outbuildings. One of the players looked in our direction and began to run towards our car, as I'm quite certain he must have seen the rather confused looks on our faces.
The young man enthusiastically welcomed us to Lost Valley Ranch. I think I said something like...Whoa!!, what on earth is this place???
Lost Valley Ranch---an all inclusive Mountain Resort Dude Ranch will be open for business in the Spring. Look them up!
The Youtube video above is the picture documentation (set to the music of Landslide by Dixie Chicks), of Lost Valley Ranch - during and after Hayman....a story of a determination of will and spirit to overcome.
Hayman Burn Scar, Colorado
Thanks to all of you who encouraged me to go back and document this. I will be posting several pictures over the next few days.
When I returned to the burn scar yesterday, I viewed the devastation through a couple of new lenses, one of acceptance of what is, and one of hope and renewal.
These pictures are not pretty, forest fires never are. But I feel the need to document what has become of this once thriving forest and how it is coming back, 14 years later.
This fire was an arson. I'll share the story in the next few images.

The mountain and surrounding area rising in the upper third of the picture bear the scare of the Hayman fire, one of the top 3 worst fires in Colorado's history. Started as a result of arson, the fire burned over 138k acres.

Earth teach me quiet ~ as the grasses are still with new light.
Earth teach me suffering ~ as old stones suffer with memory.
Earth teach me humility ~ as blossoms are humble with beginning.
Earth teach me caring ~ as mothers nurture their young.
Earth teach me courage ~ as the tree that stands alone.
Earth teach me limitation ~ as the ant that crawls on the ground.
Earth teach me freedom ~ as the eagle that soars in the sky.
Earth teach me acceptance ~ as the leaves that die each fall.
Earth teach me renewal ~ as the seed that rises in the spring.
Earth teach me to forget myself ~ as melted snow forgets its life.
Earth teach me to remember kindness ~ as dry fields weep with rain.

Bald Eagle perched in a dead tree, Hayman burn area near Route 67, Colorado
From the Cornell Lab of Ornithology:
The Bald Eagle has been the national emblem of the United States since 1782 and a spiritual symbol for native people for far longer than that. These regal birds aren’t really bald, but their white-feathered heads gleam in contrast to their chocolate-brown body and wings. Look for them soaring in solitude, chasing other birds for their food, or gathering by the hundreds in winter. Once endangered by hunting and pesticides, Bald Eagles have flourished under protection.
View of the Hayman burn scar in Colorado from Cheesman Lake. As we drove through the devastation, it was so bad I couldn't take any pictures beyond this one. However, something's calling me back to document what is real and what has become. I'll be going back tomorrow.

Made a trip to Roan Mountain early morning 032418. The snowfall began after arrival and continued for the day. Beautiful place!
I had the opportunity to visit my hometown in the Mississippi Delta again over the Christmas break. The weather was not that great and finding the right composition was difficult, but I always wanted to photograph the Cypress Swamps. On this morning, the fog was very thick, which made for a very moody shot. In this photograph, I like the Cypress Tree silhouettes and the Cypress Knees. I think this shot is a nice end to 2013 for me. Happy New Year, Everyone!!!
Critiques welcomed.

Various pictures from our visit to Hayman Island, in the Great Barrier Reef section of northeastern Australia, in December 1973
Even those in the most rural areas are being wise and using face masks for protection in these times of world-wide pandemic, Monroe County, WV.
We had a step ladder from our ground floor room and could swim straight into the hexagonal pool, and do laps back to our door. I did several every morning to justify a sumptuous feast of a brekkie!
plus we played tennis everyday too, and went out on the little mini cats (hubster steering, me lazing)
Commissioned by The Citizens Theatre. David Hayman will play King Lear in their upcoming spring season. Read about that and this shoot on this earlier image of Hayman.

Here is another picture from the summer when I worked in the Hayman Burn area, Colorado. We worked by hand for days at a time to construct water erosion control structures across the Hayman landscape.
The sun was brutal, the work was hard and long. There were few paths, and fallen trees obstructed our travel in every direction. Every standing dead tree posed a danger, and the ground hurt to sleep on at night.
But, I cannot express to you how rewarding and how beautiful this summer was. Great work must be done in our nation's forests.
A huge Colorado wildfire, the Hayman Fire, ravaged this mountain 18+ years ago. The cause of the fire was determined to be arson. It still bears scars and many skeletons of charred trees.
The Hayman fire, largest in Colorado history (140,000 acres) burned very near this spot in 2002. In fact, you can see many burned trees on that mountain.
Shot this yesterday and hope we continue to get plenty of snow this winter because if we do it will lessen the chances of forest fires in the area for 2019.
The Hayman Fire was set by an arsonist on June 8, 2002 and burned 138,000+ acres covering several counties in Colorado. On this Thanksgiving Day we revisited the Lost Creek Wilderness in Jefferson County. Fifteen years since the fire, we are beginning to see regrowth. This large pine tree, however, was felled by the fire. Some of it is charred and some of it is sun-bleached; a relic of tragic, senseless loss in our state's history.
Hayman Burn Scar, Colorado
A forestry technician with the U.S. Forest Service, Terry Barton, set the fire in a campfire ring during a total burn ban triggered by a National Weather Service red flag warning. Barton's claim that she was attempting to burn a letter from her estranged husband was disputed by one of her teenage daughters who testified that a psychology teacher had told Ms. Barton to write her feelings in a letter and burn it.[7] Many locals believe she set the fire on purpose so she could stay home and fight a local Colorado fire instead of being called to fight fires in other states, such as Arizona or California. This would enable her to be with her kids that summer. According to radio talk show host Glenn Sacks, investigators also speculated that Barton started the fire so she could be a hero for putting it out and saving the forest.[8] The fire quickly spread out of the campfire ring and eventually torched over 138,000 acres (560 km2) and burned across four different counties. A federal grand jury indicted Barton on four felony counts of arson.[9]
Barton pleaded guilty to two charges: setting fire to federal forest land and lying to investigators[10] and was given a six-year sentence in federal prison. U.S. District Judge Richard Matsch refused, however, to impose the $14 million restitution asked for by prosecutors, saying he would not sentence her to a "life of poverty." Additionally, the State of Colorado sentenced Barton to 12 years in prison to run concurrently with the 6-year federal sentence. The state sentence was overturned on appeal, however, on grounds that the presiding judge had "the appearance of prejudice" because smoke from the fire had motivated him to voluntarily leave his home for one night.[11] In March 2008, Barton was re-sentenced by a different judge to 15 years of probation and 1,000 hours community service.[12]
The fire she ignited resulted directly in the death of one civilian, $39.1 million in suppression costs, the destruction of 133 homes with total private property losses valued at $40.4 million,[13] and indirectly led to the death of five firefighters.[14] Several insurance companies filed a $7 million suit against the government in the fall of 2008, claiming that Barton was negligent in her duties. In November, Judge Wiley Daniel ruled that the government was not responsible for Barton's actions because she was acting as an angry spouse and not as a government worker.[15] Wikipedia

I was pleased with the images that came out of this shoot in Glasgow Central Station, but my black and white portraits of Hayman have gone down so well at The Citz that these ones from the station may not be used.

Bald Eagle, Hayman Fire Burn Area, Colorado, from Rt 67
From the Cornell Lab of Ornithology:
The Bald Eagle has been the national emblem of the United States since 1782 and a spiritual symbol for native people for far longer than that. These regal birds aren’t really bald, but their white-feathered heads gleam in contrast to their chocolate-brown body and wings.

Per Wikipedia's description, "The Hayman Fire was a forest fire that started 95 miles (153 km) southwest of Denver, Colorado and 35 miles (56 km) northwest of Colorado Springs on June 8, 2002, and became the largest fire in the state's recorded history. Hundreds of forestry officials and firefighters fought the fast-moving inferno, which caused nearly $40 million in damages, burned 133 homes and forced the evacuation of 5,340 people. Smoke could be seen and smelled across the state from Vail, 108 miles (174 km) northwest, to Burlington, 188 miles (303 km) east, and from Broomfield, 120 miles (190 km) north, to Walsenburg, 130 miles (210 km) south. The fire wasn't contained until July 2, 2002 and was finally brought under control on July 18, 2002. The cause of the wildfire was found to be arson."

"King Lear at the Citizens Theatre, Glasgow, will go down in theatrical legend for David Hayman's performance."
So wrote Mark Brown in The Daily Telegraph's 5-star review. My previously uploaded portrait of David Hayman here was the main publicity image for the show, and this image was taken in Glasgow's central station.
The last time I saw Lear on stage was with Derek Jacobi in the lead and directed by Michael Grandage. I'm equally, if not more, excited about going to the Citz tomorrow night to see Dominic Hill's production and, from all I've heard, I won't be disappointed.

This is another image of the Hayman Burn area in Colorado. 10 years before this picture the hottest fire in Colorado history burned more than 130,000 acres. To this day the area struggles to return. The fire burned so hot even the seeds were left in ashes.
